New in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: Build agents with broader knowledge and continuous learning

This article announces new capabilities for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore that enable agents to access broader knowledge, learn continuously from production interactions, and operate under stronger security controls.

• Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base connects agents to organizational data across SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence, and S3 with agentic retrieval
• Web Search provides real-time information from the web while keeping data within AWS security boundaries
• AgentCore payments and WAF AI traffic monetization enable agents to access paid content and services
• Production insights surface failure patterns, intent clustering, and trajectory analysis across hundreds of sessions
• Recommendations and A/B testing help validate improvements before deploying to production
• Bedrock Guardrails integration evaluates agent actions for prompt injection, harmful content, and data exposure
• AgentCore harness, now generally available, provides managed orchestration, memory, and tool execution without custom coding

These capabilities enable teams to build production-ready agents faster, improve them continuously based on real data, and govern them with deterministic security controls that scale with agent capabilities.
