AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change
Summary
Reformatted tool capabilities table into bullet points and updated image path
Security assessment
The changes are purely structural/formatting (table to bullet points) and an image path update. No security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incidents are mentioned. The existing RBAC mention remains unchanged without new security context.
