memory_list_events
AI agents call memory_list_events 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.
The name indicates a 'list' operation which typically retrieves data without side effects. However, confidence is reduced to 0.6 because the description is empty, leaving ambiguity about the exact nature of what events are retrieved and whether there are any side effects. The 'memory' prefix suggests in-memory or cached event data rather than destructive operations, supporting the Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'memory_list_events' suggests listing/querying events from memory with no modification capability, consistent with Read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
memory_list_events. 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 memory_list_events: 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.
memory_list_events 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 memory_list_events 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 memory_list_events. 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.
memory_list_events 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.
