# mysql_show_status Show MySQL server status variables. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `mysql_show_status`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/mysql-show-status ## Facts - Tool: `mysql_show_status` - 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_status", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why mysql_show_status is rated Low This tool retrieves and displays MySQL server status variables, which is a read-only operation. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only gain visibility into server performance metrics and configuration state, which is informational only. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'mysql_show_status' and description 'Show MySQL server status variables' indicate a query operation that retrieves server status information without modifying data or executing arbitrary operations." ## Use case AI agents call mysql_show_status 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_status": {} } } ``` ## 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.
