Start migration to an Amazon ElastiCache replication group. This tool starts migration from a Redis instance to an ElastiCache replication group. It initiates the data migration process from the specified endpoint(s) to the target replication group. Args: request: The StartMigrationRequest ...
Part of the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke start-migration to trigger processes or run actions in AWS ElastiCache MCP Server. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
start-migration can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Start migration to an Amazon ElastiCache replication group. This tool starts migration from a Redis instance to an ElastiCache replication group. It initiates the data migration process from the specified endpoint(s) to the target replication group. Args: request: The StartMigrationRequest object containing: - replication_group_id: The ID of the replication group to which data should be migrated - customer_node_endpoint_list: List of endpoints from which data should be migrated. For Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled), the list should have only one element. Returns: Dict containing information about the migration start result.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AWS ElastiCache MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for start-migration. 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.
start-migration is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the start-migration 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 start-migration. 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.
start-migration 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.
