What mysql_insert does on Db

AI agents use mysql_insert to create or update resources in Db — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Db environment.

Medium Risk

Why mysql_insert needs a policy

INSERT operations create new records in the database, which is reversible through DELETE operations. This is a Write action, not Destructive (no deletion/permanent loss). Severity is medium because misconfigured or malicious inserts could corrupt data integrity or fill tables, but the impact is contained to data modification rather than data loss or code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'mysql_insert' and description states '执行 MySQL INSERT 插入操作' (execute MySQL INSERT operation), which creates/adds new data rows to a database.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access mysql_insert gives an agent:

How to control mysql_insert

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_insert:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mysql_insert": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mysql_insert_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

mysql_insert stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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.
