Why CreateCodeConnection needs a policy

The tool name strongly implies a Write operation (creating a new code connection resource). However, the empty description introduces ambiguity about the exact nature of the connection and whether it could have broader implications.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'CreateCodeConnection' suggests creating a new connection or configuration resource. The empty description prevents definitive assessment, but the 'Create' prefix indicates a write operation that establishes a new entity or relationship.

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

How to control CreateCodeConnection

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Translate MCP Server, 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Amazon Translate 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.
