CreateCodeConnection

Create a new CodeConnection. This function creates a new AWS CodeConnection for connecting to a third-party Git provider. The connection will be created in PENDING status and requires OAuth authorization in the AWS Console to become AVAILABLE. Args: ctx: MCP context for error reporting ...

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

AI agents use CreateCodeConnection to create or modify resources in AWS HealthOmics 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.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call CreateCodeConnection 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 HealthOmics MCP Server.

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

What does the CreateCodeConnection tool do? +

Create a new CodeConnection. This function creates a new AWS CodeConnection for connecting to a third-party Git provider. The connection will be created in PENDING status and requires OAuth authorization in the AWS Console to become AVAILABLE. Args: ctx: MCP context for error reporting connection_name: Name for the new connection provider_type: Git provider type (Bitbucket, GitHub, GitHubEnterpriseServer, GitLab, GitLabSelfManaged) tags: Optional tags to apply to the connection aws_profile: Optional AWS profile name override aws_region: Optional AWS region override Returns: Dictionary containing: - connection_arn: ARN of the created connection - console_url: AWS Console URL for completing OAuth authorization - guidance: Instructions for completing the connection setup Raises: ValueError: If provider_type is invalid botocore.exceptions.BotoCoreError: If AWS API call fails. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS HealthOmics 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 CreateCodeConnection? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for CreateCodeConnection. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS HealthOmics MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is CreateCodeConnection? +

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

Can I rate-limit CreateCodeConnection? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the CreateCodeConnection 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 CreateCodeConnection completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for CreateCodeConnection. 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 CreateCodeConnection? +

CreateCodeConnection is provided by the AWS HealthOmics MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-healthomics-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
