# mysql_show_error_log Read the MySQL error log file content. (Requires file access privileges) Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `mysql_show_error_log`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-show-error-log ## Facts - Tool: `mysql_show_error_log` - 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_error_log", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why mysql_show_error_log is rated Low This is a read operation that retrieves error log information from the MySQL server. While it doesn't modify data, the severity is elevated to medium because error logs can contain sensitive information (credentials, internal system details, database schema hints) that could be exploited if an AI agent misuses access. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'show' and description explicitly states 'Read the MySQL error log file content.' It retrieves log data without modification." ## Use case AI agents call mysql_show_error_log 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_error_log": {} } } ``` ## 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.
