AWS Resource MCP
AWS Resource MCP
A local, read-only Model Context Protocol server that turns natural-language
questions into bounded AWS inventory, activity, coverage, Free Tier, and cost
risk analysis. It is written in Python, runs over stdio, and is designed for
use with Codex or another compatible MCP client.
The project favors honest partial results over false certainty: missing permissions, incomplete regional coverage, timeouts, and unavailable signals remain explicit in every response.
What it does

Safety model
Read-only operations only; writes and unknown operations fail closed.
free-onlyis the default economic policy.Potentially billable reads require short-lived consent for an exact operation and payload; a boolean parameter alone cannot grant it.
Time, page, request, result, and regional budgets are enforced before SDK calls.
Account identifiers, ARNs, tags, and provider errors are sanitized according to the tool contract.
Empty output never means “the account is empty” unless the requested scope was actually queried completely.
CI uses no AWS credentials and makes no live AWS request.
Example interaction
User: Which resources in eu-west-1 could generate costs?
Codex calls:
listar_recursos_aws(region="eu-west-1", include_cost_indicators=true)
analizar_riesgo_costes(regions=["eu-west-1"])
Result:
status: complete_for_requested_scope
risk: medium
evidence: configuration-based indicators only
actual spend queried: no
next step: review the named resource types or explicitly request a bounded
Cost Explorer queryThe example is synthetic and contains no account data. See the safe demo for a repeatable walkthrough.
Quick start
Requirements: Python 3.12+ and uv.
uv sync --locked --all-groups
uv run aws-resource-mcpThe repository includes an optional Codex MCP configuration in
.codex/config.toml. Configure the AWS profile outside the repository, then ask
questions such as:
“What resources do I have in
eu-west-1?”“Which resources have no known recent activity?”
“What parts of the account could not be inspected?”
“Which resources have cost indicators without querying actual spend?”
When a response is partial_pending_consent, the client should explain the
exact pending operations and wait for the user. See the
Codex integration guide.
Quality gates
uv run ruff format --check src tests
uv run ruff check src tests
uv run python -m compileall -q src
uv run aws-resource-mcp-generate-iam --check
uv run pytest -qThe IAM generator derives deterministic policy artifacts from the same central operation registry used at runtime. Generated artifacts are checked in CI so the documented permissions cannot silently drift from reachable operations.
Coverage and limitations
Resource Explorer provides broad discovery but is not universal or strongly consistent.
Service adapters cover Lambda, S3, EC2/EBS/VPC, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, CloudFormation, SQS, SNS, IAM, CloudFront, and Route 53 with service-specific limits.
CloudTrail management history is bounded to its available lookback and is not equivalent to functional application usage.
CloudWatch metric reads remain blocked under the default cost policy.
Cost Explorer forecasting and resource-level cost queries are intentionally not implemented.
This is a local analysis tool, not a hosted multi-user service or an automated remediation system.
Documentation
Available Tools
7 toolsanalizar_actividad_recursosA
Analyze last known AWS resource activity with conservative semantics.
Free service API fields and CloudTrail Event History management events are
combined through the common adapter pipeline. Functional usage,
administrative activity, configuration changes, and state signals remain
separate. Event History is regional, limited to 90 days, and does not
normally include data events such as S3 GetObject, so unknown results are
expected. CloudWatch could improve functional-usage coverage but is always
blocked in this phase: setting ``include_paid_sources`` only requests a
structured explanation and never grants consent or executes a metric call.
The operation is read-only, bounded, and may return partial results.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for transparency. It does an excellent job: it details the data sources (free API, CloudTrail Event History), the regional and temporal scope (90-day limit), expected unknowns (data events excluded), the non-execution of paid sources, and the bounded, read-only nature. This sets correct expectations for the agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is 6 sentences long and front-loads the purpose. However, it includes technical jargon (e.g., 'common adapter pipeline') that could be simplified. While not excessively long, it is not as concise as it could be; some sentences could be merged or removed without losing essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (11 parameters, output schema exists), the description covers the core behavior, data sources, and limitations well. It mentions partial results and the non-execution of paid sources. Since an output schema exists, the description does not need to detail return values. However, it could briefly mention what the output contains (e.g., last activity timestamps per resource) to aid understanding, but this is not a major gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 11 parameters with 0% description coverage, meaning the schema provides no textual help. The description only explicitly mentions one parameter (include_paid_sources) and explains its behavior. The other 10 parameters (regions, services, max_regions, resource_ids, inactive_days, lookback_days, max_resources, timeout_seconds, max_events_per_resource, include_administrative_events) are not described. This leaves the agent without guidance on their semantics, which is inadequate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Analyze last known AWS resource activity with conservative semantics.' It identifies the resource (AWS resources) and action (analyze activity). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like listar_recursos_aws or diagnosticar_cobertura_aws, so it loses the highest score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool (for analyzing resource activity with free data sources) and provides context about limitations (regional, 90-day, no data events). It explains that include_paid_sources does not grant consent, giving guidance on that parameter. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use this tool or suggest alternatives, so the guidance is implied rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
analizar_riesgo_costesA
Prioritize potential AWS cost risk without treating it as actual spend.
The analysis uses the common inventory model and its cost indicators.
Optional activity is merged through the existing uniform activity tool.
Free Tier data uses the officially free API. ``include_actual_cost=True``
only prepares a separate Cost Explorer consent request; it does not grant
consent or execute a potentially billable operation. Recommendations are
informational and no AWS resource is changed.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| regions | No | ||
| services | No | ||
| period_days | No | ||
| resource_ids | No | ||
| max_resources | No | ||

| include_actual_cost | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully explains critical behaviors: it does not change AWS resources, does not grant consent or execute billable operations, uses free API for free tier, and merges activity through existing tools. This provides sufficient transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at 5 sentences, with the purpose front-loaded. Each sentence adds distinct value: purpose, model used, activity merging, free tier and include_actual_cost clarification, and non-destructive nature. No unnecessary repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 8 parameters and 0% schema coverage, the description should compensate by explaining key parameters and output. Only include_actual_cost is addressed. The output schema exists but is not described. The complexity is medium-high, but the description provides insufficient detail for effective tool use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description only explains the include_actual_cost parameter. The other 7 parameters (regions, services, period_days, etc.) receive no explanation, leaving the agent to infer from names and types. This is insufficient given the low coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The first sentence clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Prioritize potential AWS cost risk without treating it as actual spend.' It uses a specific verb (prioritize) and resource (cost risk), and distinguishes from sibling tools like consultar_costes_aws which deal with actual spend.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly differentiates from siblings by emphasizing risk assessment rather than actual spend. It mentions when include_actual_cost=True is appropriate, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
consultar_costes_awsA
Prepare or execute one exact, potentially billable Cost Explorer query.
The first call performs no AWS operation. It returns an expiring,
single-use request that states the exact period, filters, operation,
maximum request count, and estimated API charge. Calling again with the
request id and ``consent_action="approve"`` executes at most one
GetCostAndUsage page. A continuation page always needs a new consent.
``cancel`` performs no AWS call. Approval never authorizes another
operation, period, filter, identity, forecast, or resource-level query.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| regions | No | ||
| end_date | No | ||
| services | No | ||
| max_pages | No | ||
| start_date | No | ||
| granularity | No | MONTHLY | |
| resource_ids | No | ||
| consent_action | No | ||
| group_by_service | No | ||
| include_forecast | No | ||

| include_resource_level | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the first call is free, execution is billable, approval is single-use, continuation pages need new consent, and it never authorizes other operations. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is efficient, explaining the two-step consent flow in three sentences. Could be more structured (e.g., bullet points) but remains clear and concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequately explains the consent workflow, but leaves parameter details completely unaddressed. With 0% schema coverage and 12 parameters, more parameter context is needed for completeness. Output schema exists but does not help with parameter usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and description does not explain any of the 12 parameters (e.g., 'regions', 'start_date', 'consent_action'). It only references abstract concepts like 'period' and 'filters'. Falls short of compensating for missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool prepares or executes a single Cost Explorer query, distinguishing between a preview call and an execution call. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'diagnosticar_cobertura_aws' or 'listar_recursos_aws'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit workflow guidance: first call for preview, second call with 'consent_action=approve' to execute, and 'cancel' does nothing. Does not mention when to prefer this over alternatives or any prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
diagnosticar_cobertura_awsA
Explain which AWS coverage is reachable and why it may be partial.
This read-only diagnostic checks STS, enabled Regions, existing Resource Explorer indexes, the shared adapter registry, free activity sources, and the central cost policy. It does not inventory resources, create indexes, change IAM, enable Regions, or run CloudWatch. Adapter permissions are reported conservatively because service inventory calls are not executed. Results may be partial and never prove that an unqueried service is empty.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| regions | No | ||
| services | No | ||
| include_cost_policy | No | ||
| include_permissions | No | ||
| include_activity_sources | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It explicitly states the tool is read-only, lists what it checks, and highlights limitations: adapter permissions reported conservatively, results may be partial, and never prove emptiness. This is comprehensive and transparent, leaving no hidden behaviors.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and well-structured: a one-sentence purpose follows by a bullet-like list of checks and non-actions, then caveats. Every sentence adds value without fluff. It is front-loaded with the primary purpose. Ideal for quick comprehension.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (5 parameters, output schema exists), the description covers the diagnostic scope, limitations, and non-actions well. The output schema explains return values, so that gap is acceptable. However, it omits how parameters influence behavior, which is a notable hole for tool invocation. Overall, mostly complete but missing parameter-behavior links.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for parameter meanings. However, it does not describe any of the 5 parameters (regions, services, include_cost_policy, include_permissions, include_activity_sources). The general diagnostic scope indirectly relates, but no specific parameter guidance is given. This is a significant gap, resulting in a low score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Explain which AWS coverage is reachable and why it may be partial.' It uses specific verbs (explain, checks) and lists concrete resources and checks (STS, enabled Regions, Resource Explorer indexes). This distinguishes it from siblings like listar_recursos_aws (resource listing) or analizar_riesgo_costes (cost risk analysis), providing a unique and precise purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context on when to use the tool by stating it is a read-only diagnostic and listing what it does not do (inventory resources, create indexes, change IAM, etc.). It also includes caveats about partial results. However, it does not explicitly compare to siblings or provide when-not-to-use guidance, so it misses the highest tier.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
health_checkA
Check local server health and optionally perform one guarded STS call.
The AWS check never runs inventory, adapters, Resource Explorer, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, or any regional scan. Missing credentials degrade AWS access but do not mean the local MCP server is down.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| check_aws | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without any annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains that missing credentials degrade AWS access but do not indicate server down, and clarifies the limited scope of the AWS check. The term 'guarded STS call' is somewhat vague but still informative.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short paragraphs with no wasted words. The purpose is stated in the first sentence, and additional constraints form a second paragraph. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and an existing output schema, the description covers the main point. It could explain what 'local server health' entails or what the output looks like, but the output schema likely provides that.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema shows one optional boolean 'check_aws' with 0% description coverage. The description mentions 'optionally perform one guarded STS call' but does not explicitly link this to the parameter. It adds some meaning but could be more direct.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with 'Check local server health and optionally perform one guarded STS call', which provides a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'diagnosticar_cobertura_aws' by focusing on health rather than AWS-specific diagnostics.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lists what the AWS check does NOT do (e.g., no inventory, adapters, regional scans), giving implicit context for when not to use it. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools for those cases, leaving the agent to infer usage boundaries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
listar_recursos_awsA
Discover AWS resources through locally available credentials, read-only.
Runs free read-only discovery first. Operations that AWS can meter as
requests are returned as pending and are not executed. To continue, call
this same tool with the short-lived ``consent_request_id``,
``consent_action="approve"``, and an explicit subset in
``approved_services``. Approval is single-use, identity- and scope-bound,
request-limited, and does not authorize enrichment or extra pagination.
``consent_action="cancel"`` performs no AWS inventory call. The legacy
``confirm_potentially_billable_operations`` flag is retained for signature
compatibility but grants no permission.
Every service uses the same adapter pipeline and normalized resource model.
Coverage can be partial because of pending consent, timeout, permissions,
unavailable APIs, or Resource Explorer configuration. An empty result is
therefore distinct from a service that was not queried. This tool never
writes resources, lists S3 objects, reads queue messages, publishes topics,
calculates actual costs, or guarantees that a metered request is free.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavioral traits: read-only nature, consent action details, conditions for partial coverage, and explicit list of operations it never performs. This level of detail is exceptional for transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the main purpose and structured into logical paragraphs. While every sentence contributes information, it is somewhat verbose and could be more concise. Overall, it is clear and well-organized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (14 parameters, consent workflow, output schema), the description covers essential aspects: how to initiate discovery, how to handle pending operations, and what limitations exist. It does not detail the output schema (provided separately) but sets realistic expectations about coverage and behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds value for consent-related parameters (consent_action, approved_services, consent_request_id) by explaining their role in the workflow. However, many parameters (e.g., include_cost_indicators, include_activity_summary) are not described, leaving the agent to rely on property names alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Discover AWS resources through locally available credentials, read-only.' It uses specific verbs and resource, and further distinguishes by detailing what it does not do (e.g., never writes resources, lists S3 objects). This provides clear differentiation from potential sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains the two-step consent workflow for billable operations, guiding when to call the tool again. While it doesn't explicitly compare to sibling tools, the context it provides (read-only discovery, consent mechanism) helps the agent determine appropriate usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
revisar_free_tierA
Review account-plan and Free Tier usage without querying billed costs.
AWS officially documents programmatic Free Tier usage and account-plan monitoring at no cost. This read-only tool uses only GetFreeTierUsage and GetAccountPlanState. It does not call Cost Explorer, prove that a resource is free, or guarantee future eligibility. Usage can be estimated, delayed, absent after a limit is exhausted, or unavailable because of IAM.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| services | No | ||
| max_pages | No | ||
| include_forecast | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses limitations: does not call Cost Explorer, usage can be estimated/delayed/absent, and IAM restrictions. This provides good behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is focused with a clear opening sentence and brief additional details. It could be slightly more concise but is not verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers purpose and limitations but omits parameter details. An output schema exists, so return values are not needed, but the lack of parameter explanation is a gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain any of the three parameters (services, max_pages, include_forecast). The agent only has parameter names and types, lacking meaning beyond that.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool reviews account-plan and Free Tier usage without querying billed costs, using specific AWS APIs. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like consultar_costes_aws by explicitly avoiding Cost Explorer.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use (free tier monitoring, not billed costs) and what it does not do (prove free, guarantee eligibility). It lacks explicit alternatives but context with sibling tools makes it clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 7 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: health check, coverage diagnosis, resource listing, activity analysis, cost risk, free tier, and cost queries. No two tools overlap in functionality.
All names use snake_case and are descriptive, but there is an inconsistency in language: one tool is in English (health_check) while the rest are in Spanish. This is a minor deviation from a consistent pattern.
Seven tools is a well-scoped set for a server focused on AWS resource discovery and cost analysis. Each tool covers a distinct aspect without being too few or too many.
The tool surface covers the main areas of health, coverage, resource discovery, activity, and cost (including free tier and actual cost). Minor gaps like direct resource detail queries are addressed by the generic listing tool, so overall completeness is high.
