identity_get_resource_policy
AI agents call identity_get_resource_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.
The tool name follows standard get/retrieve patterns (Read category). However, resource policies can reveal sensitive IAM configurations and permissions, escalating severity from 'low' to 'medium'. Confidence is moderate (0.7) due to missing description that would definitively clarify the tool's behavior and scope.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_get_resource_policy' indicates retrieval of an existing resource policy; the 'get' verb and absence of modification/deletion language suggest read-only access.
