Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime introduces interactive shells for terminal access into agent sessions

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports interactive shells through a new InvokeAgentRuntimeCommandShell API, opening a persistent, PTY-backed terminal directly into a running agent session over WebSocket. This complements the existing InvokeAgentRuntimeCommand API for one-shot execution, giving developers a full terminal experience inside an isolated microVM with colors, tab completion, Ctrl+C, terminal resize, and automatic reconnect on network drop. This is particularly important for developers hosting coding agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Amazon Kiro on AgentCore Runtime. In addition to the asynchronous command execution they already had, they can now authenticate, drop into the microVM hosting their coding agent, and interact with it like a local terminal: interact with the agent, inspect files, run ad-hoc commands, or debug the environment state. The shell carries persistent state across commands within the same session, so environment variables, working directory, and command history all behave as expected. Each interactive session is identified by a runtime session ID and a shell ID. Passing both back when reconnecting lands you in the exact same shell. Brief network drops reconnect automatically, and longer disconnects can be resumed manually using the same IDs. A single agent runtime supports up to 10 concurrent shells, allowing developers to open multiple terminals against the same or multiple microVMs and watch agents work different branches in parallel. To get started using the AgentCore CLI: `agentcore exec –it –runtime <runtime-arn>`. To learn more, see Interactive Shells (Terminals) and Shell execution in AgentCore Runtime for a comparison of both shell modes.

The AWS MCP Server now supports cross-account and cross-role access

Today, AWS announced cross-account and cross-role access for the AWS Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS. This feature allows developers using AI coding agents like Kiro, Claude Code, or Codex to work across multiple AWS accounts and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles within a single session, with no restarts required. Previously, switching profiles required stopping the AI coding session, updating local AWS credentials, and restarting the MCP server for every account change. Now, AI agents using the AWS MCP Server can specify a profile on each command, allowing users to switch between accounts and roles seamlessly.
Cross-account access helps developers move faster across multi-account environments. For example, a DevOps engineer can query CloudWatch logs across production and staging accounts to diagnose a performance issue, or an application developer can update a Lambda configuration in one account and adjust an S3 bucket policy in another, all within the same conversation. Each request specifies which profile to use, so there is no risk of commands reaching the wrong account.
To get started, see Multi-profile support in the Agent Toolkit for AWS user guide. The AWS MCP Server is available in the US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Frankfurt) Regions.

Amazon SageMaker Data Agent integrates business context into conversations

Amazon SageMaker Data Agent now integrates with SageMaker Catalog business context and metadata, enabling data practitioners to discover datasets and generate more accurate SQL and Python code using business terminology instead of cryptic technical table names. This integration allows the Data Agent to leverage the business context that companies have invested months curating in their SageMaker Catalog, including those synced from Collibra, Atlan, and Alation, to deliver more accurate data discovery and code generation.
With this capability, data practitioners can ask questions like “Calculate customer retention rate” or “What data do I have on customer churn?” and the Data Agent will search glossary terms, custom metadata forms, asset summaries, and README content to identify the correct tables and columns. The agent generates more accurate code on first attempt by understanding business context, plans multi-step workflows with the correct sequence of tables and transformations, and respects data governance by checking subscription status and providing access request links when needed. Organizations maximize their existing catalog investment without changing the current data workflows, reducing time-to-insight, and enabling data teams to work in business language rather than deciphering technical table names.
This integration is available in SageMaker Unified Studio notebooks and Query Editor in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is available. To learn more, visit the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio page and Amazon SageMaker Data Agent documentation.
