Multiply the number at path by value.
AI agents use json_nummultby to create or update resources in AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server environment.
The tool modifies a numeric value stored at a given path by multiplying it by a provided value. This is a data modification operation (Write), as it changes existing data in place but is reversible (the original value could be restored). The blast radius is medium because modifying data at an arbitrary path could affect important configuration or state values if misused.
From the tool's definition Multiply the number at path by value
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Multiply the number at path by value. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the AWS Well-Architected Security Assessment Tool MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for json_nummultby: 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.
json_nummultby 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 json_nummultby 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 json_nummultby. 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.
json_nummultby 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.
