WHAT IT DOES

What ri-performance does on AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server

AI agents invoke ri-performance to trigger actions in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ri-performance needs a policy

Without a description, confidence is lowered, but the tool name pattern and server context indicate this likely executes performance analysis queries or operations against AWS resources. Execute is more appropriate than Read because performance analysis in AWS contexts often triggers computational or operational side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ri-performance' with empty description suggests it performs analysis or execution of performance-related operations.
