THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why stream_group_set_id needs a policy

This tool modifies the consumer group's delivery position in a stream (Redshift Spectrum or similar streaming context), which is a reversible state change. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move financial assets (Financial). While it could affect message delivery if misconfigured, the blast radius is confined to message offset state within a consumer group.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stream_group_set_id' and description 'Set consumer group's last delivered ID' indicate modification of stream consumer group state. The verb 'Set' combined with modifying a tracked offset/ID state constitutes a Write operation.

POLICY

How to control stream_group_set_id

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 stream_group_set_id:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stream_group_set_id": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "stream_group_set_id_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

stream_group_set_id stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about stream_group_set_id

What does the stream_group_set_id tool do? +

Set consumer group's last delivered ID. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Amazon Redshift MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on stream_group_set_id? +

Register the Amazon Redshift MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stream_group_set_id: 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 Redshift MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is stream_group_set_id? +

stream_group_set_id is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit stream_group_set_id? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stream_group_set_id 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.

How do I block stream_group_set_id completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stream_group_set_id. 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.

What MCP server provides stream_group_set_id? +

stream_group_set_id is provided by the Amazon Redshift MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.redshift-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Amazon Redshift MCP Server tool call.

Start from Amazon Redshift MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
