Part of the AWS Labs CloudWatch MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents may call cancel_logs_insight_query to permanently remove or destroy resources in AWS Labs CloudWatch MCP Server. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
