AWS IaC

by awslabsUpdated today

“Create, validate, and troubleshoot AWS infrastructure as code. Validates CloudFormation templates with cfn-lint (syntax, schema, resource properties), checks compliance against AWS Guard Rules and Control Tower controls with cfn-guard, and debugs failed deployments with pattern matching across 30+ known failure cases with CloudTrail deep links. Includes full CDK documentation search, code samples across TypeScript/Python/Java/C#/Go, best practices guidance, and CDK-NAG security checks. Successor to the deprecated cdk-mcp-server with expanded CloudFormation support.”— awslabs

03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED

Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.

Telemetry disclosureUndisclosed egress detected.Static checks found network calls the docs do not mention. Disclosed telemetry is common and fine, silent telemetry is the finding.

Security tierTier 3, Credentialed.Handles a real credential or real external access. What tiers mean

Install-time hooks & dependenciesno flags

Code that runs when you install it, before you ever call a tool.

Runs code / shell commandsno flags

Whether the server can execute commands on your machine.

Secrets & credentialsno flags

How it reads, logs, or transmits keys and tokens. Scam/wallet-drainer patterns land here.

Prompt-injection passthroughno flags

Whether it pipes untrusted external content back as agent instructions.

Permission scope breadthno flags

How much access it asks for versus what its job needs.

How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
