update_agent_runtime_endpoint

Update an endpoint to point to a different runtime version. Enables zero-downtime version transitions and rollbacks. Configuration-only, no per-use cost.

Part of the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use update_agent_runtime_endpoint to create or modify resources in AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON UPDATE_AGENT_RUNTIME_ENDPOINT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call update_agent_runtime_endpoint repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the update_agent_runtime_endpoint tool do? +

Update an endpoint to point to a different runtime version. Enables zero-downtime version transitions and rollbacks. Configuration-only, no per-use cost.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on update_agent_runtime_endpoint? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for update_agent_runtime_endpoint. 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.

What risk level is update_agent_runtime_endpoint? +

update_agent_runtime_endpoint is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit update_agent_runtime_endpoint? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_agent_runtime_endpoint 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.

How do I block update_agent_runtime_endpoint completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for update_agent_runtime_endpoint. 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.

What MCP server provides update_agent_runtime_endpoint? +

update_agent_runtime_endpoint 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.
