AWS appstream2: Document new agentaccess-mcp IAM actions and endpoint note

Service: appstream2 · 2026-10-11 · Documentation medium

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/getting-started-agent-access.md · Type: iam

Summary

Adds the agentaccess-mcp:LaunchApplication and agentaccess-mcp:ToggleAppSwitcher actions to the wildcard action list, adds a pointer to supported Regions/endpoints, and lowercases the x-amzn-agentaccess-streaming-session-url header in the mcp-proxy example.

Security assessment

The change expands the documented IAM action set that the agentaccess-mcp:* wildcard covers, which is directly relevant to least-privilege scoping of agent permissions, but it documents new capabilities rather than fixing a permission flaw.

Evidence

+    * `agentaccess-mcp:LaunchApplication` — Launch a cataloged application in the current session
