get_role_policy
AI agents call get_role_policy to retrieve information from Awslabs Valkey without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool appears to retrieve role policy information without modifying or deleting data. However, confidence is reduced due to the empty description and the risk that policy information could be sensitive or used to inform privilege escalation attacks. IAM policy retrieval by itself is read-level, but policies are security-sensitive artifacts, warranting medium severity rather than low.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_role_policy' indicates retrieval of IAM role policy data. The 'get_' prefix is consistent with read operations (retrieve, fetch). No description provided to confirm reversibility or destructive intent.

get_role_policy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Awslabs Valkey MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Awslabs Valkey MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_role_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 Awslabs Valkey. Nothing to install.
get_role_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 get_role_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 get_role_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.
get_role_policy 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.
