WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_restore_dump does on Mysql Mcp

AI agents use mysql_restore_dump to create or update resources in Mysql Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mysql Mcp environment.

RISK

Why mysql_restore_dump is rated Medium

This tool generates restoration commands that write data back into a MySQL database from a dump file. While restoration is reversible (the original state can be backed up again), it irreversibly overwrites the current database state with the backup contents. This makes it Write rather than Destructive since the operation is technically reversible through another backup/restore cycle.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'restoring from mysqldump backup' which modifies database state by loading previously saved data. The verb 'restoring' indicates data is being written/reloaded into the database.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_restore_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_restore_dump, this is the rule to start with:

mysql_restore_dump Rate-limited

mysql_restore_dump stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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_restore_dump call is checked against it from then on.
