Why start_dicom_export_job needs a policy

Although the description is empty (lowering confidence), the tool name indicates it executes a backend job that exports potentially sensitive medical imaging data. This is an Execute action because it triggers an external operation with side effects that depend on arguments. The blast radius is high due to potential exposure of Protected Health Information (PHI) if misconfigured, but not Financial or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_dicom_export_job' indicates it initiates an export job for DICOM medical data. The verb 'start' suggests triggering an external operation whose effects depend on configuration arguments (export scope, destination, format).

POLICY

How to control start_dicom_export_job

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 start_dicom_export_job:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_dicom_export_job": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_dicom_export_job_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

start_dicom_export_job stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
