## Why mysql_table_stats is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves metadata about tables (size, row count, engine type) without altering data or state. It is purely informational and has no side effects, fitting the Read category. The blast radius from misuse is minimal—an agent might over-query or consume resources, but cannot modify or delete data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate retrieval of statistics ('Get detailed table statistics including size, rows, and engine info'). No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations is described."

## Use case

AI agents call mysql_table_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",
