Why cancel_logs_insight_query needs a policy

Cancellation is technically a write-like action but has minimal blast radius and is arguably reversible (the query can be re-run). The empty description lowers confidence significantly.

From the tool's definition Tool name: cancel_logs_insight_query; description is empty and uninformative

POLICY

How to control cancel_logs_insight_query

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS Labs amazon-qindex MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cancel_logs_insight_query:

policy.json

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

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