WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_analyze_table does on Mysql Mcp

AI agents invoke mysql_analyze_table to trigger actions in Mysql Mcp. 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.

RISK

Why mysql_analyze_table is rated High

ANALYZE TABLE runs an operation on the database engine that updates internal statistics; it is not a pure read (it writes metadata/statistics) but it does not irreversibly delete or modify user data. It triggers an external database operation whose effects depend on the arguments provided, placing it in the Execute category. Misuse could lock tables or cause performance impact, hence medium severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_analyze_table safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mysql Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mysql_analyze_table, this is the rule to start with:

mysql_analyze_table Rate-limited

mysql_analyze_table 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.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "mysql_analyze_table": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mysql_analyze_table_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mysql Mcp, apply this rule, and every mysql_analyze_table call is checked against it from then on.
