Why CreateCodeConnection needs a policy

CreateCodeConnection most likely creates or establishes a code connection resource (e.g., for CI/CD pipeline integration or source control linking), which is a reversible Write operation with potential blast radius if misconfigured.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'CreateCodeConnection' with empty description; inferred from server context (Amazon SNS/SQS MCP Server) and sibling tools including policy/user management operations, suggesting infrastructure provisioning capabilities.

How to control CreateCodeConnection

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Awslabs Amazon Sns Sqs, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for CreateCodeConnection:

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

CreateCodeConnection 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.
