AI agents invoke StartAHOReferenceImportJob to trigger processes or run actions in AWS HealthOmics 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.
StartAHOReferenceImportJob 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 a reference import job to import reference files from S3 into a reference store. AWS HealthOmics allows only one reference store per account per region. If reference_store_id is not provided, it will be automatically resolved. Each source in the sources list is validated against the ReferenceImportSource model and must include: - sourceFile: S3 URI pointing to a FASTA reference file (e.g. "s3://bucket/GRCh38.fasta") - name: A name for the reference (e.g. "GRCh38") - description (optional): A description of the reference - tags (optional): Key-value tags as {"key": "value"} Example sources JSON: [{"sourceFile": "s3://bucket/GRCh38.fasta", "name": "GRCh38", "description": "Human reference genome build 38", "tags": {"build": "38", "species": "human"}}] Args: ctx: MCP context for error reporting role_arn: IAM role ARN for the import job sources: JSON list of import sources (validated against ReferenceImportSource) reference_store_id: The ID of the reference store (auto-resolved if omitted) aws_profile: Optional AWS profile name override aws_region: Optional AWS region override Returns: Dictionary containing the import job information. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AWS HealthOmics 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 StartAHOReferenceImportJob. 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.
StartAHOReferenceImportJob 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 StartAHOReferenceImportJob 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 StartAHOReferenceImportJob. 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.
StartAHOReferenceImportJob 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.
