Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access execute_log_insights_query gives an agent:
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 execute_log_insights_query:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"execute_log_insights_query": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "execute_log_insights_query_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} execute_log_insights_query 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.

execute_log_insights_query is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the execute_log_insights_query 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 execute_log_insights_query. 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.
execute_log_insights_query is provided by the AWS Labs Aurora DSQL MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aurora-dsql-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
