Analyzes the performance characteristics of a CQL query - args: keyspace, query
AI agents call analyzeQueryPerformance to retrieve information from Amazon MQ MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs query analysis and performance profiling without executing the query against data or modifying any resources. It retrieves performance metrics and characteristics, making it a Read operation. Severity is low because analysis tools have minimal blast radius—they do not change system state or expose sensitive data beyond what the query itself would reveal.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyzeQueryPerformance' and description 'Analyzes the performance characteristics of a CQL query' indicate a read-only analysis operation. Arguments are 'keyspace' and 'query', which are inputs for analysis rather than modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Analyzes the performance characteristics of a CQL query - args: keyspace, query. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Amazon MQ MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Amazon MQ MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyzeQueryPerformance: 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 MQ MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyzeQueryPerformance 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 analyzeQueryPerformance 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 analyzeQueryPerformance. 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.
analyzeQueryPerformance is provided by the Amazon MQ MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.amazon-mq-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
