Part of the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke gateway_target_synchronize to trigger processes or run actions in AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
gateway_target_synchronize can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

gateway_target_synchronize is one of the high-risk operations in AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server. For the full severity-focused view — only the high-risk tools with their recommended policies — see the breakdown for this server, or browse all high-risk tools across every MCP server.
Explicitly synchronize gateway targets with their upstream tool catalog. COST WARNING: Synchronization calls the MCP server's tools/list endpoint and re-indexes the tool catalog (including rebuilding semantic search embeddings if enabled). This incurs compute costs and can take several minutes for large tool sets. The API returns a 202 response and processes asynchronously — monitor progress via gateway_target_get. Use this for mcpServer targets when the upstream MCP server has added, removed, or changed tools. CreateGatewayTarget and UpdateGatewayTarget already trigger implicit synchronization, so this is only needed when the upstream catalog changes independently.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for gateway_target_synchronize. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server.
gateway_target_synchronize is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gateway_target_synchronize rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for gateway_target_synchronize. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
gateway_target_synchronize is provided by the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
