Why it matters

Why it matters.

AI amplifies whatever your data already is.

Poor quality and unclear sensitivity become customer-visible problems fast.

Teams slow down when nobody can say whether a dataset is safe to use. Clear classification removes that hesitation.

Agents now reach data through MCP tools. Lineage, access control and a record of every call are what your auditors and enterprise customers ask for first.

What’s included · how it runs

Assess. Implement. Connect. Govern.

Typically 4–6 weeks

  1. Step 01

    Assess

    Review quality, ownership, sensitivity and current controls.

    What’s included

    Classification and access

    Sensitivity labelling, masking and fine-grained access control on AWS.

  2. Step 02

    Implement

    Stand up the catalogue, lineage, quality tests and access controls.

    What’s included

    Catalogue and lineage

    Discoverable datasets with owners, definitions and end-to-end lineage.

    Quality framework

    Automated quality tests, thresholds and alerting on the datasets that matter.

  3. Step 03

    Connect

    Expose governed datasets to your AI agents as MCP tools, with sign-in and policy at the gateway.

    What’s included

    Governed MCP access

    Curated datasets exposed to AI agents as MCP tools, with each person’s own permissions, policy at the gateway and every call audited.

    AI readiness controls

    Rules for what data may reach a model, with the evidence to prove they hold.

  4. Step 04

    Govern

    Agree ownership, a review cadence and the policy for AI use of data.

    What you walk away with

    • Data catalogue with owners and lineage
    • Automated data quality checks
    • Classification and access controls
    • Governed MCP tools for your AI agents
    • AI data usage policy and evidence

Governed access for AI · MCP

AI agents get the data. Your rules still apply.

Teams want AI assistants, IDEs and their own agents to query company data through MCP, the Model Context Protocol. We expose governed datasets as MCP tools, so an agent sees only what the person asking is allowed to see.

  1. 01 · Who asks

    A person

    Signs in once with your identity provider.

  2. 02 · MCP client

    AI assistant or agent

    An IDE, a chat assistant or your own agent.

  3. 03 · Control point

    MCP gateway

    Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway checks the sign-in and applies policy on every call.

  4. 04 · MCP tools

    Read-only tools

    One per approved dataset or question, over curated data.

  5. 05 · Governed data

    Your data on AWS

    AWS Lake Formation applies the person’s row and column grants.

On the record

Every call logged in AWS CloudTrail on behalf of the person, every policy decision in Amazon CloudWatch.

Tools over curated data

Catalogued datasets exposed as MCP tools through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway: read-only by default, described well enough for an agent to pick the right one.

The person’s permissions, not the agent’s

OAuth 2.1 sign-in, as the MCP specification sets out, and trusted identity propagation, so Lake Formation applies each person’s grants. The model never sees the token.

Policy at the gateway

Cedar rules in Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore decide which agent can call which tool, with which parameters, outside the agent’s code.

Every call on the record

Approved MCP servers listed in AWS Agent Registry, IAM guardrails for AWS-managed MCP servers, and an audit trail your auditors can read.
