IAM Policy Complexity Calculator

IAM Policy Complexity Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Deterministic AWS IAM policy size and complexity analyzer.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a suite of tools to analyze AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations. It allows AI agents to calculate exact policy byte sizes using analyze_policy_structure, verify if users, roles, or groups have exceeded policy attachment limits with check_entity_limits, simulate access decisions via simulate_access, and monitor account-wide capacity with audit_account_capacity. It helps ensure IAM policies stay within character limits and adhere to AWS governance rules.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

check_entity_limits

Determine if an IAM entity has exceeded its allowed number of attached managed or inline policies

analyze_policy_structure

Calculate the exact byte size of a provided IAM policy and check if it violates character-based constraints

audit_account_capacity

Check if the AWS account is approaching its cumulative limits for managed policies

simulate_access

Simulate the outcome of a specific action request based on the hierarchy of IAM evaluation logic

Calculate the size of this IAM policy: [{"Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3:*", "Resource": "*"}]

The total size of the provided policy is 62 bytes, which is well within the limits.

Will a user with an explicit deny on s3:PutObject be allowed to upload a file?

No, the action is denied because an explicit deny always overrides an explicit allow in the IAM evaluation logic.

Check if a role with 12 managed policies is over the limit.

Yes, the role is over the limit. Users and roles are restricted to a maximum of 10 managed policies.

You can use the `analyze_policy_structure` tool to calculate the exact byte size of your policy statements and check for limit violations.
