WHAT IT DOES

What create_fhir_resource does on Amazon Location Service MCP Server

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

THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why create_fhir_resource needs a policy

This tool creates new records in AWS HealthLake, a HIPAA-eligible healthcare data service. While creation is reversible (unlike Destructive), the tool creates protected health information (PHI) in a sensitive medical system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_fhir_resource' and description explicitly states 'Create a new FHIR resource in HealthLake' — this creates new data in a healthcare database.

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

POLICY

How to control create_fhir_resource

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Location Service MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_fhir_resource:

policy.json

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

create_fhir_resource 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.
