Why get_pricing needs a policy

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.

How to control get_pricing

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:

policy.json
{
  "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.

  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.
