Single-target operation

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

AI agents call GetCodeConnection to retrieve information from AWS HealthOmics 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 GetCodeConnection 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.

What does the GetCodeConnection tool do? +

Get details about a specific CodeConnection. This function retrieves detailed information about a specific AWS CodeConnection, including its current status and guidance on next steps. Use this to check if a connection is ready for use with HealthOmics workflows or if OAuth authorization is still required. Args: ctx: MCP context for error reporting connection_arn: ARN of the connection to retrieve aws_profile: Optional AWS profile name override aws_region: Optional AWS region override Returns: Dictionary containing: - connection_arn: ARN of the connection - connection_name: Name of the connection - connection_status: Status (PENDING, AVAILABLE, ERROR) - provider_type: Git provider type - owner_account_id: AWS account that owns the connection - host_arn: ARN of the host (for self-managed providers, if present) - guidance: Status-based guidance message for the user Raises: ValueError: If connection_arn format is invalid botocore.exceptions.ClientError: If connection is not found or AWS API call fails botocore.exceptions.BotoCoreError: If AWS API call fails. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS HealthOmics MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on GetCodeConnection? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for GetCodeConnection. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS HealthOmics MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is GetCodeConnection? +

GetCodeConnection is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit GetCodeConnection? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the GetCodeConnection 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 GetCodeConnection completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for GetCodeConnection. 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 GetCodeConnection? +

GetCodeConnection is provided by the AWS HealthOmics MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-healthomics-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
