create_asset_model

Create an asset model in AWS IoT SiteWise. Args: asset_model_name: A unique, friendly name for the asset model region: AWS region (default: us-east-1) asset_model_description: A description for the asset model asset_model_properties: The property definitions of the asset model ...

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

AI agents use create_asset_model to create or modify resources in AWS IoT SiteWise 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 create_asset_model 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 IoT SiteWise MCP Server.

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

What does the create_asset_model tool do? +

Create an asset model in AWS IoT SiteWise. Args: asset_model_name: A unique, friendly name for the asset model region: AWS region (default: us-east-1) asset_model_description: A description for the asset model asset_model_properties: The property definitions of the asset model asset_model_hierarchies: The hierarchy definitions of the asset model asset_model_composite_models: The composite models that are part of this asset model client_token: A unique case-sensitive identifier for the request tags: A list of key-value pairs that contain metadata for the asset model asset_model_id: The ID to assign to the asset model asset_model_external_id: An external ID to assign to the asset model asset_model_type: The type of asset model ( ASSET_MODEL, COMPONENT_MODEL) Returns: Dictionary containing asset model creation response. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS IoT SiteWise 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 create_asset_model? +

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

What risk level is create_asset_model? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_asset_model? +

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

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

create_asset_model is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
