The integration allows workflow designers to add configurable AI agents that perform reasoning tasks like document classification or data extraction within Step Functions visual workflows. This AgentCore-managed environment handles the agent's lifecycle, enabling parallel or sequential execution with optional human approval steps for critical decisions.
Workflow execution histories now include detailed logs of agent inputs, outputs, token consumption, and durations with links to Amazon CloudWatch for full traceability. The feature is available in select AWS regions with pricing based on existing Step Functions and Bedrock structures, offering flexible agent customization per invocation.
