+```mzsql
+ALTER ROLE mcp_agent SET restrict_to_user_objects = true;
+```
+
+This setting takes effect on the next connection. Once active:

+- Queries referencing system catalog objects are rejected with a permission

+
+To remove the restriction (as superuser):
+
+```mzsql
+ALTER ROLE mcp_agent RESET restrict_to_user_objects;
