Announcing temporal policies and rate limiting in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This article announces temporal policies and rate limiting capabilities for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, enabling advanced control over agent behavior and traffic.

• Temporal policies enforce stateful authorization rules based on agent session history and prior actions
• Enforce workflow sequencing and require tool arguments to match prior call outputs
• Require human approval before privileged actions and enforce data freshness requirements
• Rate limiting provides per-user or per-group controls over traffic to tools, models, and agents
• Rules scoped by OAuth or AWS IAM with limits on requests, tokens, and concurrent connections

These controls help organizations manage agent behavior beyond individual actions, improve security, and ensure fair resource distribution across users and services.
