WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_spatial_distance does on Mysql Mcp

AI agents call mysql_spatial_distance 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.

RISK

Why mysql_spatial_distance is rated Low

This tool performs a spatial query to locate rows matching distance criteria. It retrieves data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. The Cartesian distance calculation is deterministic and returns results based on existing data. No side effects or state changes occur.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Find rows within a certain distance from a point' — a query operation that retrieves filtered data based on spatial criteria. The verb 'Find' and the read-only nature of distance calculations indicate no data modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_spatial_distance 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_spatial_distance, this is the rule to start with:

mysql_spatial_distance Allowed

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