Get all available SecurityAgent API operations.
AI agents call get_api_guide to retrieve information from Amazon SageMaker AI 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 and queries API documentation—a read-only operation that returns reference information about available operations without executing them, modifying data, or causing side effects. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes API metadata that would typically be public-facing documentation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_api_guide' and description 'Get all available SecurityAgent API operations' indicate retrieval of reference documentation/API specifications with no modification or execution of operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all available SecurityAgent API operations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Amazon SageMaker AI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Amazon SageMaker AI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_api_guide: 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 SageMaker AI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_api_guide 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 get_api_guide 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 get_api_guide. 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.
get_api_guide is provided by the Amazon SageMaker AI MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.sagemaker-ai-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
