GetCodeConnection
AI agents call GetCodeConnection 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.
The 'Get' prefix and 'CodeConnection' naming convention suggest this retrieves connection details or metadata rather than modifying state. However, confidence is reduced to 0.65 due to empty description—the tool could potentially expose sensitive AWS credentials or connection strings (connection details are valuable to attackers), elevating severity to medium despite the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetCodeConnection' indicates a retrieval operation (Get prefix) for code connection configuration or credentials.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
GetCodeConnection. 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 GetCodeConnection: 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.
GetCodeConnection 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 GetCodeConnection 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 GetCodeConnection. 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.
GetCodeConnection 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.
