AWS's August 12 writeup details Bedrock AgentCore payments combined with an ORACLE policy engine and ICME PreFlight verification. An integrity service signs execution records inside AWS Nitro Enclaves, with the attestation document binding signing keys to enclave image measurements (PCR0/PCR1/PCR2) so records can't be rewritten after the fact. Measured: full transaction under 4 seconds, governance under 1 second, proof verification under 1 second, over the x402 standard. That's fast enough to sit in a synchronous agent loop.

The walkthrough covers implementing MCP tools, wiring authentication, and deploying with AWS CDK against Bedrock AgentCore and Mistral AI Studio. Steal the two-layer JWT pattern: agent identity and end-user identity as separate token layers. Most MCP server tutorials hand-wave...
AWS's August 21 post stages agent tool governance as Connect, Control, Catalog and Harden, from one SSO-backed MCP endpoint for a 1-20 user pilot through identity-aware authorization with PII redaction and self-service tool publishing at 100+ users. It supports Cognito-backed...
AWS made the managed AgentCore harness generally available on June 18. You define model, tools, skills, and memory with CreateHarness, then run it with InvokeHarness. It ships multi-model support (Bedrock, OpenAI, Gemini, LiteLLM), mid-session context preservation, built-in br...
AWS shipped per-user, per-target rate limiting August 6 covering MCP targets, inference targets and HTTP passthrough across three metrics: requests (RPS/RPM), tokens (TPM, inference only), connections (CPS). Limits scope by JWT claims ($.context.jwt.sub, .role, .azp) or IAM id...
AWS announced August 6 that agents can now run on your own EC2 instances while AgentCore handles provisioning, patching, scaling, and lifecycle. Complements the existing microVM runtime, targeting sustained or specialized-hardware workloads that need the full EC2 instance-type...
Every coding agent ships a permission prompt. The premise is that a human looking at the command is the control. That premise just got measured, and it doesn't hold. Scale X published results on August 5 from 40,000+ plays of its agent-permission game covering 409,000+ individ...
