list_position
AI agents call list_position 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.
Without a description, classification relies on the name alone. 'list_position' most naturally maps to a Read operation (listing/retrieving data). However, confidence is moderate due to the empty description, which could conceal unexpected functionality. The low severity reflects the presumed benign nature of a positional query operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_position' suggests querying or retrieving positional information from a list or collection. The tool name pattern 'list_*' typically indicates a read operation. No destructive, write, or execution keywords present.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_position. 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 list_position: 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.
list_position 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 list_position 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 list_position. 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.
list_position 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.
