Set the default encryption configuration for your AWS account. Args: encryption_type: The type of encryption used for the encryption configuration (SITEWISE_DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION, KMS_BASED_ENCRYPTION) region: AWS region (default: us-east-1) kms_key_id: The Key ID of the cus...

Part of the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use put_default_encryption_configuration to create or modify resources in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call put_default_encryption_configuration repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the put_default_encryption_configuration tool do? +

Set the default encryption configuration for your AWS account. Args: encryption_type: The type of encryption used for the encryption configuration (SITEWISE_DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION, KMS_BASED_ENCRYPTION) region: AWS region (default: us-east-1) kms_key_id: The Key ID of the customer managed key used for KMS encryption Returns: Dictionary containing encryption configuration response. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on put_default_encryption_configuration? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for put_default_encryption_configuration. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is put_default_encryption_configuration? +

put_default_encryption_configuration is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit put_default_encryption_configuration? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the put_default_encryption_configuration rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block put_default_encryption_configuration completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for put_default_encryption_configuration. 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.

What MCP server provides put_default_encryption_configuration? +

put_default_encryption_configuration is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
