Why get_resource_request_status needs a policy

The 'get_' prefix and 'status' suffix strongly suggest this tool retrieves information about resource request status in AWS Managed Prometheus without making changes. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the naming convention clearly indicates a read operation. No evidence of side effects, modifications, or destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_resource_request_status' indicates a query/retrieval operation ('get_'); description is empty but the name pattern suggests status checking without modification.

How to control get_resource_request_status

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 get_resource_request_status:

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

get_resource_request_status 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.
