WHAT IT DOES

What analyze_metric does on AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server

AI agents call analyze_metric to retrieve information from AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why analyze_metric needs a policy

The name indicates metric analysis, a read-only operation that retrieves and processes data. Without an explicit description, confidence is moderate. The sibling tools show mixed operations (some write/execute), but 'analyze_metric' in isolation most likely performs data retrieval and analysis rather than modification or execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_metric' suggests reading and analyzing metric data without modification. No description provided to confirm scope.

POLICY

How to control analyze_metric

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_metric:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "analyze_metric": {}
  }
}

analyze_metric is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
