connect-jump-host-cache-cluster
AI agents invoke connect-jump-host-cache-cluster to trigger actions in Awslabs Valkey. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
The tool name suggests it initiates a connection (likely SSH or tunneling) to an ElastiCache/MemoryDB cluster through a jump host, which is an active execution operation with side effects. This could expose internal infrastructure. Confidence is moderate because the description is empty, so the exact behavior is unknown.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'connect-jump-host-cache-cluster' — implies establishing a network connection to a cache cluster via a jump host
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
connect-jump-host-cache-cluster. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Awslabs Valkey MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Awslabs Valkey MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for connect-jump-host-cache-cluster: 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 Awslabs Valkey. Nothing to install.
connect-jump-host-cache-cluster is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the connect-jump-host-cache-cluster 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 connect-jump-host-cache-cluster. 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.
connect-jump-host-cache-cluster is provided by the Awslabs Valkey MCP server (awslabs.valkey-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
