WHAT IT DOES

What finch_build_container_image does on AWS Labs amazon-qindex MCP Server

AI agents invoke finch_build_container_image to trigger actions in AWS Labs amazon-qindex 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.

THE RISK

High Risk

Why finch_build_container_image needs a policy

Building a container image is an Execute operation because it runs a build process that compiles code and dependencies into a container artifact. The effects are not inherently reversible at scale and the operation triggers external build infrastructure. Severity is high because a malicious build could produce compromised images deployed across infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'finch_build_container_image' indicates execution of a container image build process. The 'build' verb combined with 'container_image' suggests triggering an external operation (container build) whose effects depend on build arguments and context.

POLICY

How to control finch_build_container_image

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 finch_build_container_image:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "finch_build_container_image": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "finch_build_container_image_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

finch_build_container_image stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register AWS Labs amazon-qindex MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
