What cache_quit does on Amazon MQ MCP Server

AI agents call cache_quit as a supporting operation in Amazon MQ MCP Server workflows.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cache_quit needs a policy

This tool closes a connection to a cache server, which is a session/resource management operation. It doesn't read, write, execute code, destroy data, or involve financial transactions. It simply terminates a network connection, which is reversible (a new connection can be opened). This falls into 'Other' as it is a housekeeping/lifecycle operation with minimal blast radius.
