Returns the string representation of the type of the value stored at key.
AI agents call type 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 retrieves metadata (type information) about a stored value — a read-only operation with no side effects. Severity is low as it only exposes type information, not the data itself.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Returns the string representation of the type of the value stored at key. 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 type: 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.
type 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 type 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 type. 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.
type 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.
