What mysql_stats_frequency does on Mysql Mcp
AI agents call mysql_stats_frequency 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.

This tool retrieves statistical information about value distributions in a database—a read-only query operation. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete records, or perform financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker could only learn about data distributions, which is informational access but not destructive or operationally harmful.

mysql_stats_frequency is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mysql Mcp, apply this rule, and every mysql_stats_frequency call is checked against it from then on.
