WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_databases does on Mcp Windows

AI agents call mysql_databases to retrieve information from Mcp Windows without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why mysql_databases is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation to enumerate available databases. It has no side effects, makes no modifications, and presents minimal risk. The severity is low because database enumeration alone does not expose sensitive data and does not enable further exploitation without subsequent tool usage.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'List all databases' — a query operation that retrieves information without modifying, deleting, or executing code.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_databases safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Windows, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mysql_databases, this is the rule to start with:

mysql_databases Allowed

mysql_databases 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": {
    "mysql_databases": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Windows, apply this rule, and every mysql_databases call is checked against it from then on.
