Why create_data_processing_role needs a policy

Creating an IAM role is a reversible Write operation that creates a new security principal in AWS. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name and context of sibling AWS identity management tools clearly indicate this creates rather than deletes resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_data_processing_role' indicates creation of an IAM role. The sibling tools include 'add_inline_policy' and 'add_user_to_group', confirming this server performs AWS identity and access management operations.

How to control create_data_processing_role

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_data_processing_role:

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

create_data_processing_role 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.
