What create_graphql_api does on Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server

AI agents use create_graphql_api to create or update resources in Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

Why create_graphql_api needs a policy

The tool creates a GraphQL API, which is a reversible infrastructure modification. This falls under Write rather than Execute because it provisions a resource rather than running arbitrary code. Confidence is moderate (0.55) due to the empty description providing no concrete detail about scope, permissions, or whether it might have destructive side effects (e.g., replacing an existing API).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_graphql_api' indicates creation/provisioning of an API resource. Despite empty description, naming pattern aligns with Write operations (create*) that modify infrastructure.

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

How to control create_graphql_api

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_graphql_api:

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

create_graphql_api 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.
