WHAT IT DOES

What deploy_serverless_app_help does on AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server

AI agents invoke deploy_serverless_app_help to trigger actions in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why deploy_serverless_app_help needs a policy

Serverless application deployment (e.g., via AWS SAM, CloudFormation) is an Execute operation that runs infrastructure-as-code to provision resources, execute functions, and modify cloud state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'deploy_serverless_app_help' and context of AWS IoT SiteWise MCP server suggest deployment of serverless applications. Deployment operations trigger external infrastructure provisioning and execution of code/infrastructure changes.
