WHAT IT DOES

What mysqlsh_version does on Mysql Mcp

AI agents call mysqlsh_version 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 mysqlsh_version is rated Low

This is a simple diagnostic/informational query that retrieves the version and status of MySQL Shell. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. It is purely read-only metadata retrieval, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get[s] MySQL Shell version and installation status' — a query operation with no side effects, returning version/availability information only.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

mysqlsh_version Allowed

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

policy.json

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

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 mysqlsh_version call is checked against it from then on.
