Analyze a CDK project to identify AWS services used. This tool dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs without relying on hardcoded service mappings.
AI agents call analyze_cdk_project to retrieve information from Amazon EKS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs static code analysis on CDK (Cloud Development Kit) project files to extract metadata about which AWS services are referenced. It does not create, modify, delete, execute, or deploy any infrastructure. The analysis is informational only, with no side effects on AWS resources or the filesystem beyond reading input files. This places it clearly in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool 'analyzes' a CDK project to 'identify AWS services used' and 'extracts service information from CDK constructs'. These are read-only operations that examine code structure without modifying or executing resources.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_cdk_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon EKS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_cdk_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analyze_cdk_project": {}
}
} analyze_cdk_project is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Analyze a CDK project to identify AWS services used. This tool dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs without relying on hardcoded service mappings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Amazon EKS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Amazon EKS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_cdk_project: 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 EKS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_cdk_project 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 analyze_cdk_project 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 analyze_cdk_project. 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.
analyze_cdk_project is provided by the Amazon EKS MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.eks-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Amazon EKS MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
