create-jump-host-replication-group

Creates an EC2 jump host instance to access an ElastiCache replication group via SSH tunnel. Args: replication_group_id (str): ID of the ElastiCache replication group to connect to key_name (str): Name of the EC2 key pair to use for SSH access subnet_id (str, optional): ID of the sub...

Part of the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use create-jump-host-replication-group 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 create-jump-host-replication-group 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.

What does the create-jump-host-replication-group tool do? +

Creates an EC2 jump host instance to access an ElastiCache replication group via SSH tunnel. Args: replication_group_id (str): ID of the ElastiCache replication group to connect to key_name (str): Name of the EC2 key pair to use for SSH access subnet_id (str, optional): ID of the subnet to launch the EC2 instance in (must be public). If not provided and replication group uses default VPC, will auto-select a default subnet. security_group_id (str, optional): ID of the security group to assign to the EC2 instance. If not provided and replication group uses default VPC, will use the default security group. instance_type (str, optional): EC2 instance type. Defaults to "t3.small" Returns: Dict[str, Any]: Dictionary containing the created EC2 instance details Raises: ValueError: If subnet is not public or VPC compatibility check fails. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create-jump-host-replication-group? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create-jump-host-replication-group. 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.

What risk level is create-jump-host-replication-group? +

create-jump-host-replication-group is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create-jump-host-replication-group? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create-jump-host-replication-group 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 create-jump-host-replication-group completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for create-jump-host-replication-group. 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 create-jump-host-replication-group? +

create-jump-host-replication-group 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.
