Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now generally available

Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is now generally available, providing organizations with centralized, fine-grained controls for agent-tool interactions. Policy operates outside your agent code, enabling security, compliance, and operations teams to define tool access and input validation rules without modifying agent code. Teams can author policies using natural language that 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. Policy helps ensure agents operate within defined parameters while maintaining organizational visibility and governance.

Policy in AgentCore is available in thirteen AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), and Europe (Stockholm).
