WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_create_dump does on Mysql Mcp

AI agents invoke mysql_create_dump 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_create_dump is rated High

The tool triggers an external mysqldump process (shell command execution) against the database. While a dump is non-destructive to source data, it executes an OS-level command and can exfiltrate large volumes of sensitive data. This places it firmly in Execute, with high severity due to potential data exfiltration risk if misused.

From the tool's definition "Generate mysqldump command for backing up database" — the tool generates and presumably executes a mysqldump command, which is an external shell/CLI operation that runs against the database.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_create_dump 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_create_dump, this is the rule to start with:

mysql_create_dump Rate-limited

mysql_create_dump 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_create_dump": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mysql_create_dump_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_create_dump call is checked against it from then on.

Can I rate-limit mysql_create_dump? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mysql_create_dump 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.

How do I block mysql_create_dump completely? +
