Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs dynamodb_data_modeling safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AWS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For dynamodb_data_modeling, this is the rule to start with:
dynamodb_data_modeling is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AWS, apply this rule, and every dynamodb_data_modeling call is checked against it from then on.
