Why analyze_metric needs a policy

Without a description, classification is limited. The name 'analyze_metric' implies reading and processing metrics data for analysis purposes, consistent with Read category (retrieves or queries data). However, the empty description reduces confidence. If this tool queries metrics from an Aurora DSQL database, it aligns with Read (low blast radius).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_metric' with empty description; naming convention suggests data analysis/querying rather than modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.

How to control analyze_metric

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS Labs Aurora DSQL 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.

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