WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_user_privileges does on Mcp Windows

AI agents call mysql_user_privileges 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_user_privileges is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays information about the current user's database privileges. It performs a read-only query (equivalent to SHOW GRANTS or similar MySQL privilege inspection commands) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius is minimal—only sensitive information is exposed if queried, but no system state is altered.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mysql_user_privileges' and description 'Show current user's privileges' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification or side effects.
