Why secure_esm_sqs_policy needs a policy

The tool generates (creates/writes) an IAM policy document. Creating or attaching IAM policies is a Write operation that modifies access control configurations. While generating a policy document could be read-like if it only returns a template, the context of 'Generate...IAM policy' implies creation/attachment of a policy, making it a Write.

From the tool's definition Generate security-approved IAM policy for SQS ESM with scoped permissions. Uses pre-approved templates, not LLM generation.

How to control secure_esm_sqs_policy

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 secure_esm_sqs_policy:

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

secure_esm_sqs_policy 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.
