Why search_cdk_samples_and_constructs needs a policy

Search operations are inherently read-only—they query and retrieve data without modifying, executing code, or causing side effects. Even though the description is absent, the naming pattern strongly suggests a lookup/retrieval function rather than a mutation or execution operation. The confidence is moderate (0.7) due to the missing description, but the semantic weight of 'search' justifies the Read classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_cdk_samples_and_constructs' implies querying or retrieving CDK (AWS Cloud Development Kit) samples and construct definitions.

POLICY

How to control search_cdk_samples_and_constructs

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 search_cdk_samples_and_constructs:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_cdk_samples_and_constructs": {}
  }
}

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

Create a free account and register Prometheus 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.
