Analyze a CDK project to identify AWS services used. This tool dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs without relying on hardcoded service mappings.
AI agents call analyze_cdk_project to retrieve information from AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs static analysis and information extraction from CDK project files. It retrieves and queries data structure information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any code or external operations. This is a classic Read category operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Analyze[s] a CDK project to identify AWS services used' and 'dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs' — these are read-only inspection operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external systems.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Analyze a CDK project to identify AWS services used. This tool dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs without relying on hardcoded service mappings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_cdk_project: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_cdk_project 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 analyze_cdk_project rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for analyze_cdk_project. 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.
analyze_cdk_project is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
