WHAT IT DOES

What manage_aws_glue_sessions does on AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server

AI agents invoke manage_aws_glue_sessions 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 manage_aws_glue_sessions needs a policy

AWS Glue sessions are interactive compute environments used to run ETL scripts and Spark code. 'Manage' implies lifecycle operations (create, start, stop, delete) over these sessions, which constitutes executing code or triggering external operations. Since the description is empty, confidence is reduced, but the name strongly implies Execute-level activity.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'manage_aws_glue_sessions' — implies creating, starting, stopping, or deleting AWS Glue interactive sessions, which executes Spark/ETL workloads.
