From the tool's definition Tool name is 'ecs_resource_management' with an empty description. The name suggests ECS (Elastic Container Service) resource management but provides no specifics.

POLICY

How to control ecs_resource_management

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ecs_resource_management": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ecs_resource_management_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ecs_resource_management gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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