# mysql_create_dump Generate mysqldump command for backing up database. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `mysql_create_dump`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-create-dump ## Facts - Tool: `mysql_create_dump` - Server: Mysql Mcp (`oci:docker.io/writenotenow/mysql-mcp:v1.0.0`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/neverinfamous/mysql-mcp.git - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "mysql_create_dump", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## 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 own 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." ## Use case 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mysql Mcp: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "mysql_create_dump": { "limits": [ { "counter": "mysql_create_dump_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Mysql Mcp (222) - `mysql_audit_restore_backup` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-audit-restore-backup.md - `mysql_cascade_simulator` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-cascade-simulator.md - `mysql_doc_drop_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-doc-drop-collection.md - `mysql_doc_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-doc-remove.md - `mysql_drop_partition` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-drop-partition.md - `mysql_drop_schema` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-drop-schema.md - `mysql_drop_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-drop-table.md - `mysql_drop_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-drop-view.md - `mysql_event_drop` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-event-drop.md - `mysql_force_index` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-force-index.md - `mysql_fulltext_drop` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-fulltext-drop.md - `mysql_json_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-json-remove.md - `mysql_migration_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-migration-rollback.md - `mysql_role_drop` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-role-drop.md - `mysql_analyze_table` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-analyze-table.md - `mysql_event_create` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-event-create.md - `mysql_flush_tables` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-flush-tables.md - `mysql_json_merge` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-json-merge.md - `mysql_migration_apply` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-migration-apply.md - `mysql_optimize_table` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-optimize-table.md - `mysql_spatial_intersection` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-spatial-intersection.md - `mysql_spatial_transform` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-spatial-transform.md - `mysql_stats_row_number` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-stats-row-number.md - `mysql_transaction_begin` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-transaction-begin.md - `mysql_transaction_execute` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-transaction-execute.md - `mysqlsh_run_script` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysqlsh-run-script.md - `proxysql_commands` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/proxysql-commands.md - `mysql_audit_diff_backup` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-audit-diff-backup.md - `mysql_audit_list_backups` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-audit-list-backups.md - `mysql_binlog_events` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp/mysql-binlog-events.md - …and 192 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-neverinfamous-mysql-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
