Why get_pod_logs needs a policy

The tool retrieves or queries log data from pods with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. While the description is empty, the function name strongly indicates a retrieval operation typical of Read category tools. The tool appears misplaced on an SNS/SQS server (which suggests a Kubernetes/container context), but the naming convention is clear enough to classify with reasonable confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_pod_logs' indicates retrieval of pod logs, which is a read-only operation that queries existing log data without modification or side effects.

How to control get_pod_logs

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_pod_logs:

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

get_pod_logs 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.
