Description

Deploy AWS WAF with rate limiting, managed rules, and bot control to protect an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway routing tool calls to AWS Lambda and Amazon Bedrock.

Architecture

AWS WAF WebACL (5 rules) → Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway (MCP) → AWS Lambda → Amazon Bedrock Claude Sonnet 4

WAF Rules:

  • AllowTrustedAgentIPs — configurable IP allowlist bypass
  • RateLimitPerIP — 100 requests/5 min with custom JSON 429 response
  • AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet — XSS, SQLi protection
  • AWSManagedRulesKnownBadInputsRuleSet — malicious payload detection
  • AWSManagedRulesBotControlRuleSet — automated traffic detection (count mode)

Deployed and Tested

Stack deploys in us-east-1. WAF WebACL association with AgentCore Gateway confirmed. Lambda tool invokes Bedrock successfully (94 tokens). CloudWatch WAF logging active.

Checklist

  • IAM least-privilege (scoped to specific model ARNs)
  • CDK synth passes (12 resources)
  • Deployed and tested end-to-end
  • Pre-commit hook passes
  • No duplicate patterns in repo

…Core Gateway

Deploy AWS WAF WebACL with rate limiting, AWS Managed Rules, Bot Control,
and IP allowlisting to protect Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway routing
MCP tool calls to AWS Lambda with Amazon Bedrock inference.

- Rate-based rule: 100 requests/5 min per IP with JSON 429 response
- AWS Managed Rules: CommonRuleSet + KnownBadInputsRuleSet
- Bot Control: COMMON inspection level (count mode)
- IP allowlist: configurable trusted agent CIDR blocks
- CloudWatch logging for all WAF decisions
- 11 resources, IAM least-privilege scoped
