AI agents use CreateAHORunCache to create or update resources in Amazon EKS MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Amazon EKS MCP Server environment.
The 'Create' action in the tool name indicates this tool creates or initializes a new resource (a run cache). This is reversible data creation, fitting the Write category. Within an EKS/AWS context, cache creation typically has medium severity as it consumes resources and could impact system performance or costs, but is not irreversible or destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'CreateAHORunCache' suggests creation of a cache resource. The 'Create' prefix indicates a write operation that generates new data/resources. Description is empty, reducing confidence.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access CreateAHORunCache 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 CreateAHORunCache:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"CreateAHORunCache": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "createahoruncache_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}CreateAHORunCache stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

CreateAHORunCache. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Amazon EKS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Amazon EKS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for CreateAHORunCache: 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.
CreateAHORunCache is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the CreateAHORunCache 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 CreateAHORunCache. 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.
CreateAHORunCache 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.
