RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_server_health safely

mysql_server_health Allowed

mysql_server_health is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_server_health": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY 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_server_health call is checked against it from then on.
