Why get-log-events needs a policy

This tool retrieves log events, which is a read operation with no side effects. Even though the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention strongly suggests a query/fetch operation that retrieves historical data. The blast radius is low since reading logs does not modify system state or trigger external actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-log-events' indicates retrieval of log data. No description provided, but the 'get-' prefix and '-events' suffix are consistent with read operations that retrieve event logs without modification.

How to control get-log-events

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-log-events:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-log-events": {}
  }
}

get-log-events 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.
