AI agents call get_pricing to retrieve information from Amazon Location Service MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves pricing data from AWS Location Service, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial transactions are executed. The severity is low because retrieving pricing information poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_pricing' combined with AWS Location Service context suggests querying pricing information. The empty description limits certainty, but the nomenclature and 'get_' prefix indicate a read operation that retrieves pricing data without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_pricing gives an agent:
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 get_pricing:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_pricing": {}
}
} get_pricing is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Amazon Location Service MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_pricing: 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 Amazon Location Service MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_pricing 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_pricing 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_pricing. 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_pricing is provided by the Amazon Location Service MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-location-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Amazon Location Service MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
