FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What tools does the AWS MCP server expose?

The AWS MCP Servers exposes 55 tools across 5 categories: Read, Write, Execute, Destructive, Other. Each tool can be individually controlled with Intercept policies.

How do I enforce policies on AWS?

Download the policy scaffold, add rules (rate limits, argument validation, deny rules), then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS MCP server. Every tool call is evaluated against your YAML policy before execution.

Is the AWS policy free to use?

Yes. All Intercept policies are open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. Download, modify, and deploy without restrictions.
