WHAT IT DOES

What proxysql_status does on Mysql Mcp

AI agents call proxysql_status 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 proxysql_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves runtime statistics and status information from ProxySQL without modifying any data or triggering side effects. It is a pure read operation that queries operational metrics. The optional 'summary' parameter only controls output format, not data mutation.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Get ProxySQL version, uptime, and runtime statistics. Returns global status variables from stats_mysql_global.' The verb 'Get' and 'Returns' indicate retrieval only. No modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

proxysql_status Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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 proxysql_status call is checked against it from then on.
