THE RISK

Why ri-performance needs a policy

The tool name 'ri-performance' likely relates to Reserved Instance performance analysis, which would be a Read operation. However, given the empty description and the ambiguity of the name, confidence is very low. It could be a read/analytics tool for AWS Reserved Instance metrics, but without a description, this cannot be confirmed.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ri-performance' and empty description provide minimal information to classify accurately.

POLICY

How to control ri-performance

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS Documentation MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ri-performance:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ri-performance": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ri-performance_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ri-performance gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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