GetAHORun
AI agents call GetAHORun 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.
'GetAHORun' follows the naming pattern of read operations (Get*). Without a description, confidence is moderately reduced, but the standard AWS naming convention and sibling tools (ActivateAHOReadSets, add_communication_to_case) suggest this retrieves operational data without side effects. Severity is medium because AWS operational/health data could inform decisions but does not directly execute code or modify state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetAHORun' suggests retrieval of AHO (AWS Health Operation) run data. The empty description limits specificity, but 'Get' prefix indicates a read operation typical of query tools in AWS contexts.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
GetAHORun. 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 GetAHORun: 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.
GetAHORun 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 GetAHORun 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 GetAHORun. 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.
GetAHORun 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.
