STARTPOLICYGENERATION()`¶

About StartPolicyGeneration¶

Initiates the AI-powered generation of Cedar policies from natural language descriptions within the AgentCore Policy system. This feature enables both technical and non-technical users to create policies by describing their authorization requirements in plain English, which is then automatically translated into formal Cedar policy statements. The generation process analyzes the natural language input along with the Gateway's tool context to produce validated policy options. Generated policy assets are automatically deleted after 7 days, so you should review and create policies from the generated assets within this timeframe. Once created, policies are permanent and not subject to this expiration. Generated policies should be reviewed and tested in log-only mode before deploying to production. Use this when you want to describe policy intent naturally rather than learning Cedar syntax, though generated policies may require refinement for complex scenarios.

IMPORTING¶

Required arguments:¶

`iv_policyengineid` `TYPE /AWS1/BDORESOURCEID` `/AWS1/BDORESOURCEID`¶

The identifier of the policy engine that provides the context for policy generation. This engine's schema and tool context are used to ensure generated policies are valid and applicable.

`io_resource` `TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_BDORESOURCE` `/AWS1/CL_BDORESOURCE`¶

The resource information that provides context for policy generation. This helps the AI understand the target resources and generate appropriate access control rules.

`io_content` `TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_BDOCONTENT` `/AWS1/CL_BDOCONTENT`¶

The natural language description of the desired policy behavior. This content is processed by AI to generate corresponding Cedar policy statements that match the described intent.

`iv_name` `TYPE /AWS1/BDOPOLICYGENERATIONNAME` `/AWS1/BDOPOLICYGENERATIONNAME`¶

A customer-assigned name for the policy generation request. This helps track and identify generation operations, especially when running multiple generations simultaneously.

Optional arguments:¶

`iv_clienttoken` `TYPE /AWS1/BDOCLIENTTOKEN` `/AWS1/BDOCLIENTTOKEN`¶

A unique, case-sensitive identifier to ensure the idempotency of the request. The AWS SDK automatically generates this token, so you don't need to provide it in most cases. If you retry a request with the same client token, the service returns the same response without starting a duplicate generation.

RETURNING¶

`oo_output` `TYPE REF TO /aws1/cl_bdostartplygenerrsp` `/AWS1/CL_BDOSTARTPLYGENERRSP`¶

Domain /AWS1/RT_ACCOUNT_ID

Primitive Type NUMC

Syntax Example¶

This is an example of the syntax for calling the method. It includes every possible argument and initializes every possible value. The data provided is not necessarily semantically accurate (for example the value "string" may be provided for something that is intended to be an instance ID, or in some cases two arguments may be mutually exclusive). The syntax shows the ABAP syntax for creating the various data structures.

DATA(lo_result) = lo_client->startpolicygeneration(
  io_content = new /aws1/cl_bdocontent( |string| )
  io_resource = new /aws1/cl_bdoresource( |string| )
  iv_clienttoken = |string|
  iv_name = |string|
  iv_policyengineid = |string|
).

This is an example of reading all possible response values

lo_result = lo_result.
IF lo_result IS NOT INITIAL.
  lv_resourceid = lo_result->get_policyengineid( ).
  lv_resourceid = lo_result->get_policygenerationid( ).
  lv_policygenerationname = lo_result->get_name( ).
  lv_policygenerationarn = lo_result->get_policygenerationarn( ).
  lo_resource = lo_result->get_resource( ).
  IF lo_resource IS NOT INITIAL.
    lv_bedrockagentcoreresourc = lo_resource->get_arn( ).
  ENDIF.
  lv_datetimestamp = lo_result->get_createdat( ).
  lv_datetimestamp = lo_result->get_updatedat( ).
  lv_policygenerationstatus = lo_result->get_status( ).
  LOOP AT lo_result->get_statusreasons( ) into lo_row.
    lo_row_1 = lo_row.
    IF lo_row_1 IS NOT INITIAL.
      lv_string = lo_row_1->get_value( ).
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
  lv_string = lo_result->get_findings( ).
ENDIF.
