Analyze a CDK project to identify AWS services used. This tool dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs without relying on hardcoded service mappings.
AI agents call analyze_cdk_project to retrieve information from AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a static analysis tool that reads CDK code to understand its composition. It has no side effects on AWS infrastructure or data. The analysis is introspective (examining constructs) rather than executing commands or modifying state. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates inspection/querying behavior with zero destructive or operational consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool analyzes a CDK project to 'identify AWS services used' and 'extracts service information from CDK constructs' — operations that query/retrieve metadata from code without modifying, executing, or deleting resources.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access analyze_cdk_project gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for analyze_cdk_project:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"analyze_cdk_project": {}
}
}analyze_cdk_project is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Analyze a CDK project to identify AWS services used. This tool dynamically extracts service information from CDK constructs without relying on hardcoded service mappings. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_cdk_project: 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 Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_cdk_project 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 analyze_cdk_project 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 analyze_cdk_project. 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.
analyze_cdk_project is provided by the AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.well-architected-security-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
