Part of the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache to retrieve information from AWS ElastiCache 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.
Even though get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache 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.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Generates an SSH tunnel command to connect to an ElastiCache serverless cache through an EC2 jump host. Args: serverless_cache_name (str): Name of the ElastiCache serverless cache to connect to instance_id (str): ID of the EC2 instance to use as jump host Returns: Dict[str, Union[str, int]]: Dictionary containing the SSH tunnel command and related details Raises: ValueError: If required resources not found or information cannot be retrieved. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache. 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.
get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache 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 get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache. 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.
get-ssh-tunnel-command-serverless-cache 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.
