Start a new sandboxed code interpreter session. Creates a new session that can execute code, run commands, and manage files in an isolated environment. The session remains active until explicitly stopped or until the timeout expires (default DEFAULT_SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS). Args: ctx: MCP ...
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 start_code_interpreter_session 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.
start_code_interpreter_session 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.

start_code_interpreter_session 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.
Start a new sandboxed code interpreter session. Creates a new session that can execute code, run commands, and manage files in an isolated environment. The session remains active until explicitly stopped or until the timeout expires (default DEFAULT_SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS). Args: ctx: MCP context for error signaling and progress updates. code_interpreter_identifier: Code interpreter to use. Defaults to CODE_INTERPRETER_IDENTIFIER env var or 'aws.codeinterpreter.v1'. name: Optional human-readable name for the session. session_timeout_seconds: Session timeout in seconds. Defaults to DEFAULT_SESSION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (900). region: AWS region. Defaults to AWS_REGION env var or 'us-east-1'. Returns: CodeInterpreterSessionResponse with session_id, status, and message.. 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 start_code_interpreter_session. 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.
start_code_interpreter_session 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 start_code_interpreter_session 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 start_code_interpreter_session. 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.
start_code_interpreter_session 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.
