Why GetSupportedFileTypes needs a policy

The tool name suggests it retrieves or lists supported file types without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Although the description is empty, the name follows a pattern typical of read-only queries. The low confidence reflects the absence of a description to confirm the exact behavior, but the name strongly suggests a simple metadata retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetSupportedFileTypes' indicates a query or retrieval operation that returns configuration or metadata about supported file types.

How to control GetSupportedFileTypes

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon ECS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for GetSupportedFileTypes:

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

GetSupportedFileTypes 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 ECS 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.
