Create a new MySQL database.

How to control mysql_create_database ↓

AI agents use mysql_create_database to create or update resources in Mcp Windows — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Windows environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new database, which is a reversible write operation. While databases are important infrastructure, creating one does not permanently destroy data or execute arbitrary code; it can be reversed by dropping the database.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'mysql_create_database' and description states 'Create a new MySQL database.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation/modification.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access mysql_create_database gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Windows, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for mysql_create_database:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_create_database": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mysql_create_database_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

mysql_create_database stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Windows — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
