Why json_objkeys needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation—it inspects and returns the keys of a JSON object at a specified path. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and poses minimal risk even if called with arbitrary arguments. The severity is low because the worst case is retrieving sensitive key names, but the tool itself cannot access values or cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'json_objkeys' and description 'Get the keys in the object at path' indicate a retrieval operation that queries/inspects the structure of JSON data without modifying it.

How to control json_objkeys

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 json_objkeys:

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

json_objkeys 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.
