## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "mysql_query_stats",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why mysql_query_stats is rated Low

This tool queries performance statistics from MySQL's read-only performance_schema database. It retrieves metrics for analysis and monitoring purposes without creating, modifying, or deleting data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could at most access query performance metadata that is already collected by MySQL for diagnostic purposes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'mysql_query_stats' and description 'Get query statistics from performance_schema' indicate retrieval of monitoring/observability data from MySQL's built-in performance schema tables."

## Use case

AI agents call mysql_query_stats to retrieve information from Mysql Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mysql Mcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_query_stats": {}
  }
}
```
