AgentCore CLI Hits 1.0: Faster Startup and a Consistent Command Structure

Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan!

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

The AgentCore CLI, your companion for building agents, has hit 1.0!

What was announced?

AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore CLI version 1.0 (@aws/agentcore 1.0.0). The CLI helps developers create, develop, deploy, and operate AI agents and supporting resources from the terminal.

Version 1.0 is rebuilt with faster startup, a consistent command structure, and support for more AgentCore resources.

What changes

With 1.0 you can use the project workflow, or work directly with these resources without first adding them to a project:

  • harnesses
  • runtimes
  • memory
  • identity
  • gateways
  • payments

Dive Deep

Usability changes:

  • Invoke existing resources by ID or ARN
  • Open an interactive shell
  • Export a harness
  • Use searchable menus, resource pickers, and guided workflows
  • Consistent global flags for region selection, JSON output, debugging, and version information across commands

Existing projects can be migrated to version 1 with this command:

agentcore migrate

Install it from npm, or explore the source on GitHub. For more, see the AgentCore product page, the CLI reference, and the Get started guide.

Wrap-up

  • AgentCore CLI 1.0 (@aws/agentcore 1.0.0) is generally available
  • Faster startup, with a consistent command structure and global flags
  • Work with resources directly without adding them to a project
  • Migrate existing projects with agentcore migrate

This is for developers who want to build and run agents from the terminal!
