identity_get_resource_policy
AI agents call identity_get_resource_policy 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.
The tool appears to retrieve (get) a resource policy, which is a read operation that queries policy configuration without modifying or executing actions. However, the empty description and somewhat ambiguous naming reduce confidence. The tool could expose sensitive access control details, warranting medium severity. 'Get' operations are classified as Read per the rules.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_get_resource_policy' contains 'get', which is a read operation. The 'identity' prefix suggests it retrieves AWS identity/access control policy information. No description provided, limiting certainty.

identity_get_resource_policy. 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 identity_get_resource_policy: 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.
identity_get_resource_policy 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 identity_get_resource_policy 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 identity_get_resource_policy. 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.
identity_get_resource_policy 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.
