delete-policy

Description

Deletes an existing policy from the AgentCore Policy system. Once deleted, the policy can no longer be used for agent behavior control and all references to it become invalid. This is an asynchronous operation. Use the GetPolicy operation to poll the status field to track completion.

Options

--policy-engine-id (string)

The identifier of the policy engine that manages the policy to be deleted. This ensures the policy is deleted from the correct policy engine context.

--policy-id (string)

The unique identifier of the policy to be deleted. This must be a valid policy ID that exists within the specified policy engine.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--v2-debug (boolean)

Enable AWS CLI v2 migration assistance. Prints warnings if the command would face a breaking change after swapping AWS CLI v1 for AWS CLI v2 in the current environment. Prints one warning for each breaking change detected.

Output

policyId -> (string)

The unique identifier of the policy being deleted. This confirms which policy the deletion operation targets.

name -> (string)

The customer-assigned name of the deleted policy. This confirms which policy was successfully removed from the system and matches the name that was originally assigned during policy creation.

policyEngineId -> (string)

The identifier of the policy engine from which the policy was deleted. This confirms the policy engine context for the deletion operation.

definition -> (tagged union structure)

Represents the definition structure for policies within the AgentCore Policy system. This structure encapsulates different policy formats and languages that can be used to define access control rules.

Note

This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: cedar.

cedar -> (structure)

The Cedar policy definition within the policy definition structure. This contains the Cedar policy statement that defines the authorization logic using Cedar’s human-readable, analyzable policy language. Cedar policies specify principals (who can access), actions (what operations are allowed), resources (what can be accessed), and optional conditions for fine-grained control. Cedar provides a formal policy language designed for authorization with deterministic evaluation, making policies testable, reviewable, and auditable. All Cedar policies follow a default-deny model where actions are denied unless explicitly permitted, and forbid policies always override permit policies.

statement -> (string)

The Cedar policy statement that defines the authorization logic. This statement follows Cedar syntax and specifies principals, actions, resources, and conditions that determine when access should be allowed or denied.

description -> (string)

The human-readable description of the deleted policy.

createdAt -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the deleted policy was originally created.

updatedAt -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the deleted policy was last modified before deletion. This tracks the final state of the policy before it was removed from the system.

policyArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the deleted policy. This globally unique identifier confirms which policy resource was successfully removed.

status -> (string)

The status of the policy deletion operation. This provides information about any issues that occurred during the deletion process.

statusReasons -> (list)

Additional information about the deletion status. This provides details about the deletion process or any issues that may have occurred.

(string)
