## ✅ Code Organization Compliance

### Separation of Concerns
- **`models.py`**: ✅ Pydantic models for all data structures and API responses
- **`server.py`**: ✅ MCP server implementation, tools, and resources
- **`errors.py`**: ✅ Comprehensive error handling with specific IAM error types
- **`context.py`**: ✅ Server state and configuration management
- **`aws_client.py`**: ✅ AWS client creation and management utilities

### Entry Points
- **Single Entry Point**: ✅ Main entry point only in `server.py`
- **Main Function**: ✅ Proper `main()` function with argument parsing
- **Package Entry Point**: ✅ Configured in `pyproject.toml`

```toml
[project.scripts]
"awslabs.iam-mcp-server" = "awslabs.iam_mcp_server.server:main"
```

## ✅ Package Naming and Versioning

### Naming Convention
- **Package Name**: ✅ `awslabs.iam-mcp-server` (lowercase with hyphens)
- **Python Module**: ✅ `awslabs.iam_mcp_server` (lowercase with underscores)
- **Namespace**: ✅ `awslabs`

### Version Management
- **Version Storage**: ✅ Stored in `__init__.py`
- **Version Synchronization**: ✅ Configured in `pyproject.toml`

```toml
[tool.commitizen]
version_files = [
    "pyproject.toml:version",
    "awslabs/iam_mcp_server/__init__.py:__version__"
]
```

## ✅ License and Copyright Headers

All source files include the required Apache 2.0 license header:

```python
# Copyright Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
#
# Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
# ...
```

## ✅ Type Definitions and Pydantic Models

### Comprehensive Models
- **`IamUser`**: ✅ User representation with all fields
- **`IamRole`**: ✅ Role representation with trust policies
- **`IamPolicy`**: ✅ Policy representation with metadata

## ✅ Function Parameters with Pydantic Field

### Field Guidelines
All tool parameters use proper Pydantic Field definitions:

```python
@mcp.tool()
async def list_users(
    ctx: CallToolResult,
    path_prefix: Optional[str] = Field(
        description='Path prefix to filter users (e.g., "/division_abc/")',
        default=None
    ),
    max_items: int = Field(
        description='Maximum number of users to return',
        default=100
    ),
) -> UsersListResponse:
```

## ✅ Response Formatting

### Structured Responses
All tools return properly structured Pydantic models:

```python
class UsersListResponse(BaseModel):
    users: List[IamUser] = Field(..., description="List of IAM users")
    is_truncated: bool = Field(False, description="Whether the response is truncated")
    marker: Optional[str] = Field(None, description="Marker for pagination")
    count: int = Field(..., description="Number of users returned")
```

attached policies, group memberships, and access keys. Use this to get
a complete picture of a user's permissions and configuration.

## Usage Tips:
- Use this after list_users to get detailed information about specific users
- Review attached policies to understand user permissions
