WHAT IT DOES

What gateway_create does on Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server

AI agents use gateway_create 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.

THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why gateway_create needs a policy

The 'create' verb suggests the tool creates new infrastructure or configuration resources, which is a Write operation (reversible modification). Without a description, we cannot confirm if deletion is possible or what gateway type is involved, so severity is moderate rather than high. The confidence is reduced due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gateway_create' indicates creation of a gateway resource. The description is empty, preventing detailed assessment of scope and reversibility.

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

POLICY

How to control gateway_create

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 gateway_create:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gateway_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "gateway_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

gateway_create 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.

FAQ

Questions about gateway_create

What does the gateway_create tool do? +

gateway_create. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on gateway_create? +

Register the Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway_create: 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 Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is gateway_create? +

How do I block gateway_create completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for gateway_create. 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.

What MCP server provides gateway_create? +

gateway_create is provided by the Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.bedrock-kb-retrieval-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
