Why suggest_aws_commands needs a policy

With no description available, classification must rely solely on the tool name. 'suggest_aws_commands' implies recommending or proposing AWS CLI/SDK commands rather than executing them, which would be a read/informational operation. However, the name could also indicate it executes commands.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name 'suggest_aws_commands' implies generating suggestions rather than executing them

POLICY

How to control suggest_aws_commands

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 suggest_aws_commands:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "suggest_aws_commands": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "suggest_aws_commands_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

suggest_aws_commands gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
