Part of the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use connect-jump-host-cache-cluster to create or modify resources in AWS ElastiCache MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call connect-jump-host-cache-cluster repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach AWS ElastiCache MCP Server.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Configures an existing EC2 instance as a jump host to access an ElastiCache cluster. Args: cache_cluster_id (str): ID of the ElastiCache cluster to connect to instance_id (str): ID of the EC2 instance to use as jump host Returns: Dict[str, Any]: Dictionary containing connection details and configuration status Raises: ValueError: If VPC compatibility check fails or required resources not found. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for connect-jump-host-cache-cluster. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server.
connect-jump-host-cache-cluster is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the connect-jump-host-cache-cluster 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for connect-jump-host-cache-cluster. 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.
connect-jump-host-cache-cluster is provided by the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.elasticache-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
