… tags) Verified against src/data/coverage/efs.json and localstack-pro:latest (2026-09-01, per the linked ticket): CreateAccessPoint/DeleteAccessPoint/ DescribeAccessPoints and CreateMountTarget/DeleteMountTarget/ DescribeMountTargets are all implemented, contradicting the docs' claim that mount targets and access points are unsupported. Tagging is mixed: the legacy CreateTags/DeleteTags/DescribeTags operations are not implemented, but TagResource/UntagResource/ListTagsForResource are, so qualify that precisely instead of a blanket "generating tags" claim.

Summary
A customer (flagged via NISC evaluation trial) ruled out EFS access points based on our docs, then found they actually work. The ticket confirmed against
localstack-pro:lateston 2026-09-01: creating an access point on a file system succeeds (LifeCycleState: available, confirmed viaDescribeAccessPoints).The docs' "Current Limitations" section made one sentence with three claims: "lacks support for functionalities like creating mount targets, configuring access points, and generating tags." While fixing the access-points part, I cross-checked all three against
src/data/coverage/efs.json:CreateAccessPoint/DeleteAccessPoint/DescribeAccessPointsallimplemented: trueCreateMountTarget/DeleteMountTarget/DescribeMountTargetsallimplemented: trueCreateTags/DeleteTags/DescribeTagsareimplemented: false, but the modernTagResource/UntagResource/ListTagsForResourceareimplemented: trueSo all three parts of the claim were stale or imprecise. Removed the access-points and mount-targets claims entirely, and replaced the blanket "generating tags" claim with the precise legacy-vs-modern tagging API distinction the coverage data actually supports.
