## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why mysql_revoke_privileges is rated Critical

Revoking privileges removes access rights from database users or roles. While not deleting data directly, privilege revocation is a destructive security operation that can immediately deny access to critical resources and is difficult to fully audit or reverse, especially in production environments. The empty description lowers confidence, but the tool name strongly implies this behavior.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name: mysql_revoke_privileges — 'revoke' indicates removal of access privileges from a user or role, which is an irreversible or hard-to-reverse security operation."

## Use case

AI agents call mysql_revoke_privileges to permanently remove resources in Mysql, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mysql:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "mysql_revoke_privileges"
  ]
}
```
