Medium Risk

Why create_broker needs a policy

The 'create' verb indicates this tool creates/instantiates a new resource (Write category). Without a description, confidence is reduced. Severity is medium because creating a broker in AWS could have side effects (cost implications, configuration changes) but is reversible through deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_broker' which indicates creation of a new resource. The description is empty, providing no additional context about what type of broker is created or what permissions are required.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_broker gives an agent:

How to control create_broker

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 create_broker:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_broker": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_broker_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_broker stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
