AI agents call list_users 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.
The 'list_' prefix is a standard pattern for read-only operations that enumerate resources. Listing users retrieves information without side effects, making it a Read category tool. Severity is low because listing users generally has minimal security blast radius unless the user data itself is highly sensitive, though confidence is slightly reduced due to the empty description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_users' indicates a retrieval operation that queries user data without modification. The description is empty, but the naming convention and context as an AWS Location Service server strongly suggest this lists existing users.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_users 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 list_users:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_users": {}
}
}list_users is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

list_users. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Amazon Location Service MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Amazon Location Service MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_users: 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.
list_users 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 list_users 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 list_users. 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.
list_users 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.
