Cloud Audit Overview

The gebalamariusz/cloud-audit MCP server connects security analysis to AWS account data through a read-only scanner. It evaluates IAM identities, Bedrock Agents, AgentCore components, permissions, privilege-escalation paths, attack chains, and resource reach, with optional IAM policy-simulator verification. Reach for it when you need to assess what compromised agents or AWS identities could access without changing the account.

Primary Use Cases for Cloud Audit:

Scan AWS accounts for security findings
Assess what a hijacked Bedrock Agent can reach
Trace IAM privilege-escalation and attack-chain paths
Review a resource's blast radius from a saved report
