What json_arrtrim does on Amazon Location Service MCP Server

Why json_arrtrim needs a policy

Trimming an array modifies data by removing elements outside the specified range, making it a write/modification operation. However, the description is vague and the tool name 'json_arrtrim' doesn't clearly match the Amazon Location Service context, reducing confidence. The operation is reversible if the original data is known, so Write is more appropriate than Destructive.

How to control json_arrtrim

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 json_arrtrim:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "json_arrtrim": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "json_arrtrim_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

json_arrtrim stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
