Why ecs_troubleshooting_tool needs a policy

The name suggests a diagnostic/troubleshooting tool for ECS (Elastic Container Service), which would typically be a Read operation. However, with no description provided, it's impossible to confirm whether it only reads data or also performs write/execute actions. Confidence is very low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty; no information available to determine what the tool does beyond its name 'ecs_troubleshooting_tool'.

POLICY

How to control ecs_troubleshooting_tool

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ecs_troubleshooting_tool": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ecs_troubleshooting_tool_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ecs_troubleshooting_tool gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
