AI agents call clear-cart to permanently remove resources in Amazon MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Clearing a cart removes all items irreversibly (or at least requires re-adding each item manually). This is a bulk destructive action with no partial undo — all cart contents are wiped. Given the context of an e-commerce cart that may contain many carefully selected items, misuse could cause significant user frustration and data loss of cart state.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access clear-cart gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for clear-cart:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"clear-cart"
]
}clear-cart disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Register the Amazon MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear-cart: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Amazon MCP Server. Nothing to install.
clear-cart is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear-cart rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for clear-cart. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
clear-cart is provided by the Amazon MCP Server MCP server (rigwild/mcp-server-amazon). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
