Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory Updates

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Memory now allows attaching metadata values directly from your application, ensuring they pass through extraction and consolidation unchanged. When you set a metadata key's extraction type to STRICTLY_CONSISTENT, the value you provide on the short-term memory event is the value that lands on the resulting long-term memory record unchanged.

Strictly consistent metadata also isolates how events are grouped. Events sharing the same values are extracted together and consolidated together. Records with different values are never merged, even if semantically similar. This enables department-scoped retrieval, compliance boundaries between regulated and standard records, and multi-tenant memory where each tenant's data is processed independently.

What to do

  • Configure up to three strictly consistent keys per strategy.
  • Use the feature on semantic, user preference, and episodic strategies, including custom overrides.
  • Ensure keys are of type STRING and declared in the memory's indexed keys.
  • Both LLM-inferred and strictly consistent keys can coexist on the same memory resource.
