Why gateway_resource_policy_put needs a policy

The 'put' operation on a gateway resource policy modifies access control rules, which is a reversible write operation. However, misconfiguring resource policies could have significant blast radius by granting unintended access to infrastructure resources. Severity is high because policy misconfigurations affect security posture, though not immediately destructive or financial in nature.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gateway_resource_policy_put' combines 'put' (a write operation) with 'resource_policy' (infrastructure access control). The 'put' verb indicates creation or modification of a policy resource. Empty description reduces confidence slightly.

How to control gateway_resource_policy_put

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_resource_policy_put:

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

gateway_resource_policy_put 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.
