Why list_stored_procedures needs a policy

This tool retrieves and displays information about stored procedures (a read-only query). It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an attacker gains visibility into stored procedures but cannot alter them or execute arbitrary code through this tool alone. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_stored_procedures' and description states 'List all stored procedures in the current database' — a query operation that retrieves metadata without modifying any data.

How to control list_stored_procedures

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_stored_procedures": {}
  }
}

list_stored_procedures is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mysql — 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.
