Get the keys in the object at path.
AI agents call json_objkeys 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 metadata (keys) from a JSON object at a specified path. It is purely informational with no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes code, deletes anything, nor triggers external operations. It is a safe read-only inspection function.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'json_objkeys' and description 'Get the keys in the object at path' indicate a retrieval operation that queries object structure without modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the keys in the object at path. 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 json_objkeys: 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.
json_objkeys 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 json_objkeys 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 json_objkeys. 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.
json_objkeys 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.
