Multiply the number at path by value.
AI agents use json_nummultby to create or update resources in AWS Labs MySQL MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AWS Labs MySQL MCP Server environment.
This tool modifies existing numeric data by multiplying it by a given value, which is a reversible write operation (the original value is overwritten but the operation can be undone by dividing). It does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. Confidence is slightly reduced because the description is brief and context about what data store or system is being modified is limited.
From the tool's definition Multiply the number at path by value
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Multiply the number at path by value. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS Labs MySQL MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AWS Labs MySQL MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for json_nummultby: 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 AWS Labs MySQL MCP Server. Nothing to install.
json_nummultby is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the json_nummultby 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 json_nummultby. 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.
json_nummultby is provided by the AWS Labs MySQL MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.mysql-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
