AI agents use revoke_role_from_user to create or update resources in Mysql, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mysql environment.
Why revoke_role_from_user is rated Medium
Revoking a role from a user modifies access control permissions/privileges. This is a reversible write operation (the role can be re-granted), but it carries high severity because it directly affects authorization, potentially removing a user's access to critical resources or disrupting application functionality if misused.
