AI agents use save_results to create or modify resources in Aws Security. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call save_results repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Aws Security.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access save_results gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Saves scan results to local disk or S3 for dashboard display. Does not modify any AWS resources.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Aws Security MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Aws Security MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for save_results: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Aws Security. Nothing to install.
save_results is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the save_results 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 save_results. 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.
save_results is provided by the Aws Security MCP server (aws-security-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
