Why start_dicom_import_job needs a policy

This tool triggers an asynchronous job that processes medical imaging data (DICOM files).

An AI agent with misused arguments could import incorrect/malicious medical data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_dicom_import_job' indicates triggering an external operation (DICOM import job). The empty description limits direct evidence, but the verb 'start' combined with 'job' and 'import' clearly indicates execution of a backend operation whose…

How to control start_dicom_import_job

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for start_dicom_import_job:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_dicom_import_job": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_dicom_import_job_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

start_dicom_import_job stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon ElastiCache Memcached MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
