What it detects

This rule detects Bedrock AgentCore code interpreter and agent runtime invocations that, in the Agent God Mode scenario, are abused through wildcard IAM permissions to execute code across agent boundaries. Invocation of these runtimes by unexpected principals can indicate exploitation of excessive privileges for arbitrary execution in the AI environment.
