What build_and_push_image_to_ecr does on Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server

AI agents invoke build_and_push_image_to_ecr to trigger actions in Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why build_and_push_image_to_ecr needs a policy

Building and pushing container images to ECR involves executing external processes (docker build, docker push) whose effects depend on build arguments and registry configuration. This is Execute-category because it triggers external operations. Severity is high due to potential supply chain risks: a malicious build could inject malware into container images used across an organization.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'build_and_push_image_to_ecr' indicates execution of Docker build operations and pushing artifacts to Amazon ECR registry. Description is empty, but the name alone reveals Docker/container orchestration operations.

How to control build_and_push_image_to_ecr

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for build_and_push_image_to_ecr:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "build_and_push_image_to_ecr": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "build_and_push_image_to_ecr_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

build_and_push_image_to_ecr stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval 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.
