  • AgentCore Identity can reference AWS Secrets Manager secrets, enabling centralized encryption, rotation, and governance.
  • OpenAI GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex models now generally available on Bedrock's inference engine.
  • AgentCore Gateway provides fine-grained access control, observability, and credential management for MCP servers at scale.

  • AgentCore payments includes built-in guardrails to address risks in agentic payment systems.
