Amazon AgentCore is the enterprise runtime for AI agents built with LangChain/LangGraph. It adds memory, identity, tools, guardrails and observability at scale — the missing enterprise layer between your agents and Bedrock.

In simple terms

The managed enterprise runtime that makes LangChain agents production-ready on AWS.

How it works

  1. 1The LangGraph agent runs on the AgentCore Runtime.
  2. 2AgentCore Memory provides short-, long-term and semantic memory.
  3. 3AgentCore Identity controls who can access what (users, roles, OIDC/SSO).
  4. 4AgentCore Gateway gives secure access to tools and services via MCP.
  5. 5AgentCore Observability monitors and improves agents with traces, metrics and alerts.

Key points

  • Enterprise-grade runtime with persistent memory and state.
  • Secure, fine-grained permissions and policies.
  • Scales on AWS infrastructure and integrates with Bedrock.
  • Solves building auth, memory, tool security and monitoring from scratch.

Why it matters

AgentCore adds the enterprise capabilities — security, memory, tools, observability — that make LangChain agents production-ready on AWS without building them yourself.

Frequently asked questions

It provides the enterprise plumbing (memory, identity, tools, guardrails, observability) so you don't build it from scratch.
Does it work with LangGraph?
Yes — it's designed to run LangChain/LangGraph agents in production.
