AI agents call get_execution_plan to retrieve information from Amazon Data Processing MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_' prefix and 'plan' retrieval pattern indicate a query or retrieval operation with no apparent side effects. This maps to the Read category. Severity is medium rather than low because execution plans in AWS data processing contexts may expose sensitive details about system configurations, data flow, or infrastructure topology that could inform attacks.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_execution_plan' suggests retrieval of an execution plan, consistent with Read operations (get, fetch). However, the description is empty, which limits certainty about its precise function and blast radius.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_execution_plan gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Data Processing MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_execution_plan:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_execution_plan": {}
}
} get_execution_plan is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_execution_plan. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Amazon Data Processing MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Amazon Data Processing MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_execution_plan: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Amazon Data Processing MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_execution_plan is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_execution_plan rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_execution_plan. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_execution_plan is provided by the Amazon Data Processing MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-dataprocessing-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Amazon Data Processing MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
