What analyze_cdk_project does on Prometheus MCP Server

AI agents call analyze_cdk_project to retrieve information from Prometheus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why analyze_cdk_project needs a policy

This tool examines and reads CDK project structure to identify AWS services used. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any AWS resources or external operations. The 'analyze' operation is fundamentally a read/query operation that has no side effects on the target system.

From the tool's definition Tool performs analysis and extraction of information from CDK constructs ('dynamically extracts service information') without modifying or executing any resources. The description indicates data retrieval only.

How to control analyze_cdk_project

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

policy.json
{
  "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.

  1. Create a free account and register Prometheus 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.
