Why modify-serverless-cache needs a policy

The tool performs modification of serverless cache resources, which is a reversible write operation affecting infrastructure state. Confidence is moderate (0.75) rather than higher because the description is empty, preventing definitive confirmation of scope and whether modifications could cascade destructively; however, 'modify' indicates intentional updates rather than deletion or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'modify-serverless-cache' indicates modification of cache infrastructure; paired with other AWS management tools (add_inline_policy, add_user_to_group) on an AWS Location Service MCP server suggests infrastructure/configuration changes.

How to control modify-serverless-cache

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "modify-serverless-cache": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "modify-serverless-cache_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
