identity_list_api_key_providers
AI agents call identity_list_api_key_providers 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.
This tool retrieves information about API key providers, which is a read-only query operation. However, API key provider information could be sensitive for understanding authentication infrastructure, hence medium severity. Confidence is moderate (0.7) because the description is empty, requiring inference from the name alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_list_api_key_providers' indicates listing/retrieving API key provider configurations. The verb 'list' is a read operation that queries identity and access management data without modifying state.

identity_list_api_key_providers. 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 identity_list_api_key_providers: 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.
identity_list_api_key_providers 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 identity_list_api_key_providers 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_list_api_key_providers. 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_list_api_key_providers 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.
