What test_connection does on MySQL MCP Server

AI agents call test_connection 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 test_connection needs a policy

This tool performs a health check or diagnostic test of the database connection. It retrieves connection status information but does not query data, execute code, modify data, or delete anything. It is a non-invasive read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'test_connection' and description '测试数据库连接是否正常' (test if database connection is normal) indicate a read-only diagnostic operation that verifies connectivity without modifying or executing queries against the database.
