Amazon Bedrock AgentCore released the Policy feature in general availability, enabling organizations to define security, compliance, and operational controls externally from agent code. Policies written in natural language are automatically translated to Cedar, AWS’s open-source policy language, and evaluated at runtime before agent-tool access is granted.
These policies attach to the AgentCore Gateway, governing tool inputs and interactions to maintain operational boundaries and organizational visibility. This feature is deployed across thirteen AWS regions, supporting enterprise governance for AI agent operations without modifying underlying agent implementations.
