# mysql_show_engines Show available storage engines. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `mysql_show_engines`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-show-engines ## Facts - Tool: `mysql_show_engines` - Server: Mysql (`mukul975/mysql-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/mukul975/mysql-mcp-server - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "mysql_show_engines", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why mysql_show_engines is rated Low This tool retrieves and displays information about available MySQL storage engines. It is a read-only operation that queries system metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only learn about available engines, with no ability to alter database state or trigger external operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'mysql_show_engines' and description 'Show available storage engines' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about database engine configurations with no modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call mysql_show_engines to retrieve information from Mysql without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Mysql: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "mysql_show_engines": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Mysql (232) - `drop_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/drop-event.md - `drop_partition` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/drop-partition.md - `drop_role` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/drop-role.md - `drop_stored_function` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/drop-stored-function.md - `drop_stored_procedure` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/drop-stored-procedure.md - `mysql_alter_table_drop_column` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-alter-table-drop-column.md - `mysql_delete_data` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-delete-data.md - `mysql_drop_database` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-database.md - `mysql_drop_foreign_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-foreign-key.md - `mysql_drop_index` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-index.md - `mysql_drop_primary_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-primary-key.md - `mysql_drop_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-table.md - `mysql_drop_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-user.md - `mysql_drop_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-drop-view.md - `mysql_kill_process` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-kill-process.md - `mysql_reset_query_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-reset-query-cache.md - `mysql_revoke_privileges` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-revoke-privileges.md - `mysql_truncate_table` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-truncate-table.md - `create_event` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/create-event.md - `create_stored_procedure` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/create-stored-procedure.md - `mysql_analyze_table` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-analyze-table.md - `mysql_auto_index_rebuild_scheduler` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-auto-index-rebuild-scheduler.md - `mysql_flush_logs` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-flush-logs.md - `mysql_flush_privileges` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-flush-privileges.md - `mysql_flush_tables` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-flush-tables.md - `mysql_lock_tables` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-lock-tables.md - `mysql_optimize_table` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-optimize-table.md - `mysql_repair_table` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-repair-table.md - `mysql_set_variable` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-set-variable.md - `mysql_unlock_tables` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-unlock-tables.md - …and 202 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
