What run_sql does on zoraHoldersAI
AI agents invoke run_sql to trigger actions in zoraHoldersAI. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why run_sql is rated High
run_sql triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs run_sql safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and zoraHoldersAI, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run_sql, this is the rule to start with:
run_sql stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect zoraHoldersAI, apply this rule, and every run_sql call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about run_sql
Run one guarded, read-only PostgreSQL SELECT. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the zoraHoldersAI MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the zoraHoldersAI MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for run_sql: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches zoraHoldersAI. Nothing to install.
run_sql is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the run_sql rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for run_sql. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
run_sql is provided by the zoraHoldersAI MCP server (marblerace/zoraHoldersAI). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
