WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why GrantHealthOmicsRepositoryAccess needs a policy

The name suggests granting access (i.e., modifying IAM/resource permissions) to an AWS HealthOmics repository, which is a Write-level action modifying access control. However, the description is empty, reducing confidence. Severity is high because granting repository access can expose sensitive genomic/health data to unintended principals.

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