## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "mysql_vector_create_index",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

## Why mysql_vector_create_index is rated Medium

Creating an index is a reversible write operation that modifies the database schema and persists changes, but does not irreversibly delete data or execute arbitrary code. It could impact query performance and storage if indexes are created incorrectly, justifying medium severity. High confidence due to clear 'create' intent in both name and description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'create_index' and description states 'Create an HNSW vector index', which are schema modification operations that add or alter database structures."

## Use case

AI agents use mysql_vector_create_index 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
