Why get_component needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix strongly indicates a read operation that retrieves data without side effects. However, the empty description reduces confidence slightly, as we cannot confirm the exact scope or whether it might retrieve sensitive configuration data. No evidence suggests write, execute, destructive, or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_component' with empty description suggests a retrieval/query operation without modification. In the context of an SNS/SQS MCP server, 'get' operations typically retrieve component configuration or status.

How to control get_component

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 get_component:

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

get_component 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 Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs — 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.
