Why get_promql_series needs a policy

PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) is used to query and retrieve metrics data from monitoring systems. The 'get_' prefix indicates a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects. Even though the description is uninformative, the tool name strongly suggests querying/fetching monitoring data rather than modifying it, executing arbitrary code, or causing destructive changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_promql_series' indicates retrieval of time-series data via PromQL query interface. The 'get' prefix and 'series' suffix are consistent with data retrieval operations. Description is empty, reducing confidence slightly.

How to control get_promql_series

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_promql_series:

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

get_promql_series 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 Data Processing 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.
