# show_character_sets Show available character sets. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `show_character_sets`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/mukul975-mysql-mcp-server/show-character-sets ## Facts - Tool: `show_character_sets` - 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": "show_character_sets", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why show_character_sets is rated Low This tool retrieves and displays information about available character sets in the MySQL server. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification capability, and no ability to execute code or perform destructive actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn about character set support, which is non-sensitive configuration metadata. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'show_character_sets' and description 'Show available character sets' indicate a query operation that retrieves metadata about database configuration without modification or execution of arbitrary code." ## Use case AI agents call show_character_sets 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": { "show_character_sets": {} } } ``` ## 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.
