Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Policy Now Generally Available

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Policy is now generally available, offering centralized, fine-grained controls for agent-tool interactions. It operates outside your agent code, allowing security, compliance, and operations teams to define tool access and input validation rules without modifying agent code. Policies are authored using natural language, which automatically converts to Cedar, the AWS open-source policy language. Policies are stored in a policy engine and attached to an AgentCore Gateway, which intercepts agent-tool traffic and evaluates each request against the policies before allowing or denying tool access. This ensures agents operate within defined parameters while maintaining organizational visibility and governance.
