How to control mysql_index_optimization_suggestions

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_index_optimization_suggestions": {}
  }
}

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

Create a free account and register Mysql — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
