Why AuthorizeQIndex needs a policy

The name implies a query or authorization check against an index, most likely a Read operation. However, confidence is reduced due to the empty description. The tool operates within a Knowledge Base Retrieval context (inherently read-focused), but 'Authorize' could imply permission checks or setup.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'AuthorizeQIndex' suggests authorization or querying of an index. The description is empty, limiting direct evidence.

How to control AuthorizeQIndex

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for AuthorizeQIndex:

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

AuthorizeQIndex 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 Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server — 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.
