// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call get_resource_schema_information to retrieve information from AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) MCP Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GET_RESOURCE_SCHEMA_INFORMATION

Even though get_resource_schema_information only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the get_resource_schema_information tool do? +

Get schema information for an AWS resource. Parameters: resource_type: The AWS resource type (e.g., "AWS::S3::Bucket") Returns: The resource schema information. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_resource_schema_information? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_resource_schema_information. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is get_resource_schema_information? +

get_resource_schema_information is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_resource_schema_information? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_resource_schema_information rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block get_resource_schema_information completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_resource_schema_information. 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.

What MCP server provides get_resource_schema_information? +

get_resource_schema_information is provided by the AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.ccapi-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
