resolve_support_case
AI agents use resolve_support_case to create or update resources in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server environment.
This tool likely updates support case records—a reversible change (cases can typically be reopened or status changed again). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve payments (Financial), or merely read (Read). The medium severity reflects that misuse could close legitimate support cases, disrupting customer support workflows, but damage is reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolve_support_case' indicates it modifies the state of a support case (likely marking it resolved or closed). The empty description limits certainty about the exact operation, but 'resolve' typically implies a state change.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
resolve_support_case. 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.
Register the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resolve_support_case: 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.
resolve_support_case is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resolve_support_case 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 resolve_support_case. 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.
resolve_support_case 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.
