Get the bit value at offset.
AI agents call bitmap_get 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 a read operation on bitmap data, retrieving a specific bit value at a given offset. There is no indication of data modification, deletion, execution of arbitrary code, or financial impact. The operation is purely informational and safe for an AI agent to invoke with any offset parameter.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'bitmap_get' and description 'Get the bit value at offset' indicate a retrieval operation that queries data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the bit value at offset. 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 bitmap_get: 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.
bitmap_get 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 bitmap_get 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 bitmap_get. 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.
bitmap_get 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.
