What execute_promql_range_query does on Amazon Location Service MCP Server

AI agents invoke execute_promql_range_query to trigger actions in Amazon Location Service MCP Server. 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.

High Risk

Why execute_promql_range_query needs a policy

Executing PromQL queries can trigger computational operations and retrieve time-series metrics data from monitoring infrastructure. While not inherently destructive, query execution on production monitoring systems constitutes Execute category due to potential side effects and resource consumption.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'execute_promql_range_query' indicates execution of PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) range queries against monitoring systems. Empty description prevents full clarity, but 'execute' prefix signals code/query execution rather than simple retrieval.

How to control execute_promql_range_query

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

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

execute_promql_range_query 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 Location Service 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.
