Why mysql_pool_status needs a policy

This tool retrieves diagnostic information about connection pool state—a read-only operation with no side effects. It queries metadata about active connections but does not execute arbitrary queries, modify data, or trigger destructive operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an attacker could only gather information about pool configuration and connection counts.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'mysql_pool_status' and description '获取当前 MySQL 连接池状态' (get current MySQL connection pool status) indicate retrieval of connection pool metadata and status information.

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

How to control mysql_pool_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_pool_status:

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

mysql_pool_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.
