Why wizard_start_setup needs a policy

Setup wizards in contact center systems typically execute infrastructure or configuration changes with external effects (e.g., creating routing rules, deploying workflows, configuring IVR systems). These actions trigger operations whose effects depend on execution context and parameters, fitting the Execute category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'wizard_start_setup' which suggests initiating a setup process. Given the context of Amazon Connect contact center infrastructure and sibling tools like 'wizard_execute_onboarding' and 'wizard_discover_website', this tool likely triggers…

POLICY

How to control wizard_start_setup

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Amazon Connect MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for wizard_start_setup:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wizard_start_setup": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "wizard_start_setup_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

wizard_start_setup stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Amazon Connect MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
