Why disconnect needs a policy

The description is empty and uninformative. The name 'disconnect' in the context of an SNS/SQS messaging server could mean disconnecting a client session or endpoint, but without any description, it's impossible to determine the actual effect. Lowering confidence significantly due to lack of evidence. Defaulting to 'Other' as the safest classification given the ambiguity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'disconnect' with an empty description. No information about what the tool does is provided.

POLICY

How to control disconnect

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "disconnect": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "disconnect_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

disconnect gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
