Get detailed information about a specific HealthLake datastore
AI agents call get_datastore_details to retrieve information from Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries information about a HealthLake datastore. The verb 'Get' and the retrieval nature of the operation confirm it is a Read operation with no side effects. Even though it may access sensitive healthcare data, the action itself is non-destructive and reversible. Severity is low because misuse results in unauthorized access/disclosure rather than data corruption or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_datastore_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific HealthLake datastore' indicate retrieval of existing data without modification or deletion.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_datastore_details gives an agent:
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 get_datastore_details:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_datastore_details": {}
}
} get_datastore_details is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
