What get-resource-policy does on Amazon Data Processing MCP Server

Why get-resource-policy needs a policy

The verb 'get-' strongly suggests a retrieval/read operation rather than creation, modification, or deletion. Without evidence of side effects or destructive capabilities, and given the AWS context where retrieving policies is a common read-only operation, this is classified as Read with low-to-medium confidence due to the missing description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-resource-policy' indicates a retrieval operation. The description is empty, limiting confidence.

How to control get-resource-policy

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-resource-policy:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-resource-policy": {}
  }
}

get-resource-policy 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.
