Brew services has installed this plist file for mysql.
~ $ brew services list Name Status User Plist mysql56 started mh /Users/mh/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql56.plist Is this file safe to edit (i.e. will brew ever overwrite changes made here)? Is there another method I should use to modify the file?

If you did a custom install of the plist, the file homebrew. mxcl. mysql. plist may reside in /Library/LaunchAgents.
The usual logs end up in /usr/local/var/log/ .
Brew handles the complexity of parsing each package and then issues the appropriate launchctl commands for you. So in the end, launchctl and launchd do the lifting, brew just is an intermediary to make it easier for you to get going. Manage background services with macOS' launchctl(1) daemon manager.
All .plist files that come with Formulas can be found in Cellar dir. For instance homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist is in /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.14. You can modify it and brew services will use it.
Alternatively you can modify /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist and make it immutable with sudo chflags uchg /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist. This won't allow brew to rewrite or modify .plist file.
