What mysql_connection_status does on Db

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

Low Risk

Why mysql_connection_status needs a policy

This tool purely retrieves connection status information about an existing MySQL connection. It performs a read-only query with no side effects, making it a Read category risk. Severity is low because checking connection status poses minimal risk—it cannot modify data, execute arbitrary code, or cause harm even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'status'; description states it "获取当前 MySQL 默认连接状态" (gets current MySQL default connection status) and "查询前可先调用此工具判断" (can be called before querying to check if preconfigured connection is available). No mutation, execution, or side effects.

How to control mysql_connection_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Db, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for mysql_connection_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_connection_status": {}
  }
}

mysql_connection_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Db — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
