AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . bedrock-agentcore-control ]

delete-policy-engine

Description

Deletes an existing policy engine from the AgentCore Policy system. The policy engine must not have any associated policies before deletion. Once deleted, the policy engine and all its configurations become unavailable for policy management and evaluation. This is an asynchronous operation. Use the GetPolicyEngine operation to poll the status field to track completion.

Options

--policy-engine-id (string) [required]

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

Constraints:

  • min: 12
  • max: 59
  • pattern: [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*-[a-z0-9_]{10}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

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
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--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.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

policyEngineId -> (string)

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

Constraints:

  • min: 12
  • max: 59
  • pattern: [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*-[a-z0-9_]{10}

name -> (string)

The customer-assigned name of the deleted policy engine.

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 48
  • pattern: [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*

description -> (string)

The human-readable description of the deleted policy engine.

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 4096

createdAt -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the deleted policy engine was originally created.

updatedAt -> (timestamp)

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

policyEngineArn -> (string)

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

Constraints:

  • min: 76
  • max: 136
  • pattern: arn:aws[-a-z]{0,7}:bedrock-agentcore:[a-z0-9-]{9,15}:[0-9]{12}:policy-engine/[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9-_]{0,47}-[a-zA-Z0-9_]{10}

status -> (string)

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

Possible values:

  • ACTIVE
  • UPDATING
  • DELETING
  • CREATE_FAILED
  • UPDATE_FAILED
  • DELETE_FAILED

statusReasons -> (list)

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