What identity_put_resource_policy does on Amazon Location Service MCP Server

AI agents use identity_put_resource_policy 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.

Medium Risk

Why identity_put_resource_policy needs a policy

The 'put_resource_policy' pattern typically creates or updates resource-based policies, which modifies access control configurations reversibly. This is a Write operation (not Destructive, as policies can be updated/removed) with high severity due to potential blast radius if an AI agent misconfigures identity policies on AWS resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_put_resource_policy' indicates a policy attachment operation via 'put' verb; context of AWS IAM-like operations within Location Service suggests modification of resource access controls.

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

How to control identity_put_resource_policy

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 identity_put_resource_policy:

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

identity_put_resource_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.

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon Location Service MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
