Amazon released Policy in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with general availability, introducing centralized governance for AI agent tool interactions. Security and compliance teams can now define access permissions and input validation rules outside the agent code using natural language instructions.
These rules automatically translate into Cedar, the AWS open source policy language used for fine grained authorization. The feature allows organizations to control how agents interact with tools, services, and external systems while maintaining strong security and compliance standards.
With centralized policy management, companies can scale AI agent deployments more safely while ensuring consistent governance across applications built on Amazon Bedrock.
