Increment the number at path by value.
AI agents use json_numincrby to create or update resources in AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server environment.
This tool modifies existing numeric data by incrementing it, which is a reversible write operation. It changes stored values but does not delete or irreversibly destroy data. The context (Kendra Index MCP server) is unusual for a JSON numeric increment operation, which slightly lowers confidence, but the description clearly indicates a write/modify action.
From the tool's definition Increment the number at path by value
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Increment the number at path by value. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for json_numincrby: 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 Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server. Nothing to install.
json_numincrby 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 json_numincrby 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_numincrby. 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_numincrby is provided by the AWS Labs Amazon Kendra Index MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.amazon-kendra-index-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
