Part of the AWS Pricing MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_price_list_urls to retrieve information from AWS Pricing MCP Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_price_list_urls only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get download URLs for bulk pricing data files. **PURPOSE:** Access complete AWS pricing datasets as downloadable files for historical analysis and bulk processing. **WORKFLOW:** Use this for historical pricing analysis or bulk data processing when current pricing from get_pricing() isn't sufficient. **PARAMETERS:** - Service code from get_pricing_service_codes() (e.g., 'AmazonEC2', 'AmazonS3') - AWS region (e.g., 'us-east-1', 'eu-west-1') - Optional: effective_date for historical pricing (default: current date) **RETURNS:** Dictionary with download URLs for different formats: - 'csv': Direct download URL for CSV format - 'json': Direct download URL for JSON format **USE CASES:** - Historical pricing analysis (get_pricing() only provides current pricing) - Bulk data processing without repeated API calls - Offline analysis of complete pricing datasets - Savings Plans analysis across services **FILE PROCESSING:** - CSV files: Lines 1-5 are metadata, Line 6 contains headers, Line 7+ contains pricing data - Use `tail -n +7 pricing.csv | grep "t3.medium"` to filter data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS Pricing MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_price_list_urls. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS Pricing MCP Server MCP server.
get_price_list_urls is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_price_list_urls rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for get_price_list_urls. 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.
get_price_list_urls is provided by the AWS Pricing MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-pricing-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
