AI agents call get_promql_series to retrieve information from Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite the empty description reducing confidence, the 'get_' prefix and 'promql_series' naming convention strongly suggest this is a read-only query operation that retrieves time-series metrics data. No side effects or destructive operations are implied by the name alone. This would be classified as Read unless evidence emerges that it executes arbitrary queries with side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_promql_series' suggests querying Prometheus metrics (PromQL is Prometheus Query Language). The verb 'get' indicates data retrieval without modification. No description provided to confirm behavior.

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_promql_series:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_promql_series": {}
}
}get_promql_series is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_promql_series. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_promql_series: 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 Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs. Nothing to install.
get_promql_series 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 get_promql_series 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 get_promql_series. 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.
get_promql_series is provided by the Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs MCP server (awslabs.amazon-sns-sqs-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
