WHAT IT DOES

What mysql_analyze_table does on Mysql

AI agents invoke mysql_analyze_table to trigger actions in Mysql. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why mysql_analyze_table is rated High

ANALYZE TABLE runs a server-side operation that reads the table and updates internal index statistics metadata. It is not a pure read (it writes statistics back to the data dictionary/index), but it is not destructive or financial. It triggers an external database operation whose effects (locking, metadata changes) depend on the argument supplied, placing it in the Execute category.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mysql_analyze_table safely

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

mysql_analyze_table Rate-limited

mysql_analyze_table stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
