What indexAdvisor does on SQL MCP Server

AI agents call indexAdvisor to retrieve information from SQL MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why indexAdvisor needs a policy

The indexAdvisor tool performs read-only analysis of database execution plans and query patterns to generate index recommendations. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any data-altering operations. The explicit "只读" (read-only) designation confirms this is a Read category tool with low severity, as it only retrieves and analyzes existing metadata without side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "只读" (read-only). The tool analyzes execution plans and query patterns to provide index suggestions without modifying data, schema, or executing any write operations. It is a metadata analysis tool.
