get_scan_findings
AI agents call get_scan_findings to retrieve information from Amazon ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Based on naming convention, this tool retrieves previously-computed scan findings rather than executing new scans, modifying data, or triggering destructive actions. The 'get_' verb indicates a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. Confidence is moderate due to empty description; if the tool actually triggers new scans or writes results, classification would shift to Execute or Write respectively.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_scan_findings' suggests retrieval of scan results or findings data. The prefix 'get_' is a Read operation pattern. Description is empty, limiting precision.

get_scan_findings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Amazon ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Amazon ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_scan_findings: 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 ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_scan_findings 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 get_scan_findings 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 get_scan_findings. 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.
get_scan_findings is provided by the Amazon ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.memcached-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
