What ListAHORunGroups does on Amazon Redshift MCP Server

Why ListAHORunGroups needs a policy

The 'List' prefix indicates this tool retrieves and returns information about AHO Run Groups without modifying state. While the description is empty, reducing confidence slightly, the naming convention and server context strongly suggest a read-only query operation with minimal security impact. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'List' which is a standard retrieval operation. The sibling tools on the server include operations like 'ActivateAHOReadSets', 'add_attachments_to_set', 'aggregate', and 'analyze_*' operations, contextualizing this as a query/list operation.

How to control ListAHORunGroups

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Redshift MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ListAHORunGroups:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ListAHORunGroups": {}
  }
}

ListAHORunGroups is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon Redshift MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
