test

A command for testing a named MySQL connection and comparing its configured permissions with the database account's real permissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking the MySQL version and user, viewing database permissions, testing SSH tunnels, and finding permission mismatches.
Why use it?
It reveals connection problems and differences between what the add-on allows and what MySQL grants to the account.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

test scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Test the connection named in $ARGUMENTS.

Resolve the CLI path:

ls "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/cli.js" 2>/dev/null \
  || find ~/.claude/plugins -name cli.js -path '*mysql*' -not -path '*/node_modules/*' 2>/dev/null | head -1

Then run:

node <resolved-path> test $ARGUMENTS

If no name was given, run list first and ask which connection to test.

The command connects (opening the SSH tunnel if the connection uses one), reports the MySQL version and effective user, prints SHOW GRANTS, and compares the declared capabilities against what the account can actually do.

When interpreting the result for the user:

  • Declared but not granted — those operations will fail at the database even though the plugin permits them. The GRANT needs widening, or the capability should be revoked to match reality.
  • Granted but not declared — MySQL would allow more than the plugin does. Not necessarily wrong, since the account may be shared with other consumers, but worth knowing: the plugin refuses those before they reach MySQL.

If the connection fails, read the error carefully — it distinguishes an unreachable host from an auth failure from a missing database, and for loopback addresses it flags a probably-dead tunnel.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

test is a command published in the GitHub repository Efilkucf/mysql-mcp-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 340 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
