What list_tables does on MCP Oracle Server

AI agents call list_tables to retrieve information from MCP Oracle Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_tables needs a policy

This tool retrieves schema metadata (table names) without side effects. It is purely informational and cannot modify, execute code, delete, or affect financial systems. The read-only nature and metadata-retrieval purpose clearly place it in the Read category with low severity, as accidental misuse would only expose existing schema information.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Lista todas las tablas disponibles" (lists all available tables); server description emphasizes "read-only access" and "executing SELECT queries"; the tool performs a query operation that retrieves metadata without modifying data.
