The most dangerous agent failures are not the ones that throw errors. They are the silent ones that look fine on dashboards. These failures produce no error signal and often surface through customer complaints weeks later. AgentCore closes that gap with a loop to understand what agents are doing, generate fixes grounded in data, and prove they work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTo understand agent behavior, AgentCore surfaces failure, intent, and trajectory insights across hundreds of sessions, revealing patterns no dashboard or one-at-a-time trace review would catch. Failure insights discover recurring failure patterns, including silent behavioral failures, explain the root cause of each, and rank them by how widespread they are, so teams can fix the problems hurting the most users first. Intent insights cluster requests by what users were trying to do, and trajectory insights group the paths agents take through a task, surfacing common patterns and outliers. Customers can enable continuous monitoring or run a targeted investigation in minutes. To fix issues with confidence, recommendations analyze traces and evaluation outputs to suggest specific improvements to system prompts and tool descriptions, grounded in how the agent actually behaves. Each recommendation includes a clear rationale tied to observed failures and comes ready to validate, not a generic suggestion but a targeted change derived from production data. Before a change reaches users, batch evaluation tests recommendations against a defined test dataset and reports aggregate scores across multiple evaluators, catching regressions early. Customers define what \u0026quot;good\u0026quot; looks like, and batch evaluation measures each candidate change against that bar at scale. A/B testing then confirms improvements hold under real conditions, running a controlled comparison between agent versions by splitting live production traffic and measuring outcomes side by side. This provides statistical evidence that a change actually works in production, not just on test data, before customers commit to rolling it out fleet-wide. These capabilities work regardless of where agents run: on AgentCore’s runtime, AWS Lambda, Amazon EKS, or non-AWS environments.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFailure, intent, and trajectory insights are available in preview today in \u003ca href=\"https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/agentcore-regions.html\"\u003e13 AWS Regions.\u003c/a\u003e Batch evaluations, recommendations, and A/B tests are generally available today in \u003ca href=\"https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/agentcore-regions.html\"\u003e14 AWS Regions\u003c/a\u003e.

data: {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"message":{"content":"📢 AWS News Update (2026-06-16T22:11:45+0000)\n\n**AgentCore harness is now generally available**\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, AWS announces the general availability of the managed agent harness in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, taking teams from idea to working agents in minutes. An agent is more than a model. If the model is the brain, the harness is the body: everything the brain needs to get work done. It runs the orchestration loop, executes tools, manages the context window, persists state across turns, recovers from failures, and isolates each session. The harness shapes how well an agent performs as much as the model does, and building a durable one is where most teams spend their time today. AgentCore harness provides that layer as a managed capability. Instead of coding the loop, customers define an agent in configuration: the model it uses, the tools it calls, the skills it accesses, and the instructions it follows, and AgentCore assembles and runs that loop. From that single definition, a production-grade agent runs in minutes in its own isolated environment, with a filesystem and shell, memory across sessions, skills including the AWS-curated catalog, and web browsing. This is not a starter tool teams outgrow: the configuration they start with is what they operate at scale, and when custom orchestration is needed, the harness exports to code on the same platform without rebuilding anything.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBesides speed, AgentCore decouples the harness from the model. Customers can choose any model and switch providers mid-session without losing context or touching agent logic, for example planning with one model and writing code with another. The harness is also one piece of a single platform, not a hosting layer wrapped around a framework. It reaches tools through the same gateway that enforces security policies, and connects the agent to organizational knowledge and web search. Identity, memory, and observability come from that same platform, so every agent action is governed and traced from the first call without additional wiring. When a use case needs custom orchestration, a single CLI command exports the harness to Strands-based code on the same compute and primitives, with Claude Agent SDK coming soon as an export target. The agent declared on day one is the agent that runs at the thousandth, on the same foundation throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAgentCore harness is generally available today in all \u003ca href=\"https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/agentcore-regions.html\"\u003eAWS Commercial Regions\u003c/a\u003e where AgentCore is available.

Previously, modernizing mainframe applications required months of analysis across multiple tools for discovery, reverse engineering, and code generation with manual handoffs between phases. With this launch, enterprises running z/OS COBOL and PL/I workloads can assess their portfolio to identify the discrete business functions, extract business rules, generate development-ready requirements, and produce traceable cloud-native code in a single connected workflow.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe experience starts with a portfolio assessment, where AWS Transform systematically identifies and catalogs discrete business functions. Selected business functions flow directly into the reimagine workflow, creating a connected path from portfolio analysis through code generation. For each business function, AWS Transform generates development-ready requirements with full traceability, flowing directly into Kiro and other IDEs through MCP-based integrations. Teams can generate interactive documentation for any requirement or code directly in the IDE. Every requirement traces back to the source code, so teams can audit any transformation decision back to its origin. This end-to-end approach compresses what previously took years of manual effort into months of automated, evidence-based modernization.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform for mainframe is available.

The tool is exposed as a built-in connector target on AgentCore gateway using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
