identity_get_api_key_provider
AI agents call identity_get_api_key_provider 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 and 'provider' terminology indicate this retrieves or queries identity/authentication provider configuration rather than modifying, executing, or deleting resources. However, confidence is lowered due to empty description—without documentation, there is ambiguity about whether this returns sensitive credentials or merely provider metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_get_api_key_provider' contains 'get' which suggests retrieval/query of an API key provider identity configuration. No description provided to confirm scope.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the identity_get_api_key_provider 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 identity_get_api_key_provider. 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.
identity_get_api_key_provider 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.
