Why mysql_diagnostics_info needs a policy

The tool runs diagnostics and retrieves aggregated information, which aligns with read/monitoring operations. The server is described as providing 'read-only queries' and 'performance analysis'. However, 'Run comprehensive diagnostics' could potentially involve executing internal checks.

From the tool's definition 'retrieve aggregated info' and server description emphasizes 'read-only queries' and 'server monitoring'

How to control mysql_diagnostics_info

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 mysql_diagnostics_info:

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

mysql_diagnostics_info 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.
