WHAT IT DOES

What json_toggle does on AWS Labs CloudTrail MCP Server

AI agents use json_toggle to create or update resources in AWS Labs CloudTrail MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AWS Labs CloudTrail MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why json_toggle needs a policy

The tool modifies data by toggling a boolean value at a specified path, which is a reversible write operation. The description is vague about what data or resource is being modified, which lowers confidence. Since toggling a boolean is a state change that could potentially be reversed, Write is the most appropriate category rather than Destructive.
