get_language_metrics
AI agents call get_language_metrics 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 'get_' prefix strongly suggests a read-only query operation that retrieves language metrics without side effects. Absence of a description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention is a reliable indicator of a non-mutating action. No evidence of write, execute, or destructive capabilities based on the tool name alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_language_metrics' indicates a retrieval operation (get_*) for metrics data. No description provided to confirm mutating or destructive behavior.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_language_metrics 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 get_language_metrics. 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_language_metrics 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.
