Synopsis

Calls the Amazon Bedrock Agent Core Control Plane Fronting Layer StartPolicyGeneration API operation.

Syntax

Start-BACCPolicyGeneration
-Resource_Arn <String>

-PolicyEngineId <String>
-Content_RawText <String>
-ClientToken <String>
-Select <String>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonBedrockAgentCoreControlConfig>

Description

Initiates the AI-powered generation of Cedar policies from natural language descriptions within the AgentCore Policy system. This feature enables both technical and non-technical users to create policies by describing their authorization requirements in plain English, which is then automatically translated into formal Cedar policy statements. The generation process analyzes the natural language input along with the Gateway's tool context to produce validated policy options. Generated policy assets are automatically deleted after 7 days, so you should review and create policies from the generated assets within this timeframe. Once created, policies are permanent and not subject to this expiration. Generated policies should be reviewed and tested in log-only mode before deploying to production. Use this when you want to describe policy intent naturally rather than learning Cedar syntax, though generated policies may require refinement for complex scenarios.

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonBedrockAgentCoreControlConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.BACC.AmazonBedrockAgentCoreControlClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientToken <String>
A unique, case-sensitive identifier to ensure the idempotency of the request. The AWS SDK automatically generates this token, so you don't need to provide it in most cases. If you retry a request with the same client token, the service returns the same response without starting a duplicate generation.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Content_RawText <String>
The raw text content containing natural language descriptions of desired policy behavior. This text is processed by AI to generate corresponding Cedar policy statements that match the described intent.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Name <String>
A customer-assigned name for the policy generation request. This helps track and identify generation operations, especially when running multiple generations simultaneously.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PolicyEngineId <String>
The identifier of the policy engine that provides the context for policy generation. This engine's schema and tool context are used to ensure generated policies are valid and applicable.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Resource_Arn <String>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource. This globally unique identifier specifies the exact resource that policies will be evaluated against for access control decisions.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.BedrockAgentCoreControl.Model.StartPolicyGenerationResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.BedrockAgentCoreControl.Model.StartPolicyGenerationResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSK, SecretAccessKey
-SessionToken <String>
The session token if the access and secret keys are temporary session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesST
