Why AnalyzeAHORunPerformance needs a policy

The tool name indicates analysis of Application Health Observations (AHO) run performance, which is consistent with a Read operation that retrieves and examines monitoring/observability data. Analysis operations typically have no side effects. However, the empty description prevents higher confidence; if this tool could execute queries with arbitrary scope or trigger external actions, it might be Execute instead.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'AnalyzeAHORunPerformance' suggests analysis/inspection of performance data; the 'Analyze' verb typically indicates reading and processing existing data without modification. The empty description limits certainty.

How to control AnalyzeAHORunPerformance

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and CloudWatch Application Signals MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for AnalyzeAHORunPerformance:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "AnalyzeAHORunPerformance": {}
  }
}

AnalyzeAHORunPerformance is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register CloudWatch Application Signals MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
