Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).

MySQL Shell uses MSI (WiX). After downloading the installer, run: msiexec.exe /i mysql-shell-8.4.5-windows-x86-64bit.msi /quiet /norestart. The silent install switches are /quiet /norestart.

How do I deploy MySQL Shell via Intune or Configuration Manager?
