What query_sql does on MySQL MCP Server

AI agents call query_sql to retrieve information from MySQL MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why query_sql needs a policy

The tool is restricted to SELECT queries, which retrieve data without modification, deletion, or side effects. This is a classic Read category tool. The explicit constraint to SELECT statements eliminates Execute and Destructive risks. Low severity due to read-only nature and limited blast radius if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Enables safe interaction with MySQL databases through SELECT queries' and '仅支持SELECT语句' (only supports SELECT statements). Server description emphasizes 'read-only access to query data and examine database metadata.'
