What GrantHealthOmicsRepositoryAccess does on AWS AppSync MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why GrantHealthOmicsRepositoryAccess needs a policy

The tool name suggests it grants access (permissions) to a HealthOmics repository, which is a Write-level IAM/policy modification. This could have high blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as granting repository access to wrong principals could expose sensitive genomic/health data. Confidence is low because the description is empty, so classification relies solely on name parsing.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'GrantHealthOmicsRepositoryAccess' — 'Grant' implies adding permissions/access rights to a HealthOmics repository.
