WHAT IT DOES

What start_fhir_import_job does on Amazon MQ MCP Server

AI agents invoke start_fhir_import_job to trigger actions in Amazon MQ MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why start_fhir_import_job needs a policy

This tool initiates an asynchronous job that loads healthcare data into AWS HealthLake. While the tool itself does not directly write data (that is handled by the job), it triggers an external operation whose effects depend on arguments and cannot be immediately predicted or controlled after invocation. This is characteristic of Execute category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_fhir_import_job' and description 'Start a FHIR import job to load data into HealthLake' indicate triggering an external operation (job initiation).
