WHAT IT DOES

What manage_aws_glue_encryption does on AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server

AI agents use manage_aws_glue_encryption to create or update resources in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why manage_aws_glue_encryption needs a policy

The tool manages encryption configuration for AWS Glue resources. While encryption management is not inherently destructive, it modifies system state and security configurations. This is a Write-class operation as it changes settings reversibly (encryption can be adjusted). Severity is high because misconfiguration of encryption could expose sensitive data or impact data protection compliance.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'manage_aws_glue_encryption' indicates configuration or state changes to AWS Glue encryption settings. This is a management operation that modifies security posture.
