Get results for a completed query. Returns error if query is still running.
AI agents call get_result to retrieve information from AWS Athena MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
get_result is a read-only operation that fetches already-computed query results from AWS Athena. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. The severity is low because retrieving query results presents minimal risk—the dangerous operations (query execution, data modification) occur in other tools (run_query, run_saved_query).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get results for a completed query' - purely retrieves data without modifying or executing operations. The server enables 'execute SQL queries' and 'retrieve results', and this tool performs only the retrieval phase of that workflow.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get results for a completed query. Returns error if query is still running. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AWS Athena MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the AWS Athena MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_result: 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 AWS Athena MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_result is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_result 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 get_result. 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.
get_result is provided by the AWS Athena MCP Server MCP server (zackfairts/athena_mcp_server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
