Why search_schema needs a policy

Based on the name 'search_schema', this tool appears to retrieve or query schema information, which is a read-only operation. However, confidence is moderate due to the empty description. In the context of an SNS/SQS messaging service, searching schema would typically mean inspecting existing configurations or metadata without side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_schema' suggests a query or search operation without modification. No description provided to confirm intent.

How to control search_schema

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 search_schema:

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

search_schema 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.
