What the skill teaches
This aws-agents skill connects an AgentCore agent to outside APIs, tools and services through AgentCore Gateway and restricts tool access with Cedar policies. It helps decide whether something should be a Gateway target, pick a target type such as a Lambda function, an OpenAPI description or an existing MCP server, set up outbound authentication with OAuth, API keys or IAM, store credentials so they are still available after deployment, and write Cedar policies for a policy engine. It also covers letting the model search a large gateway's tools. Inbound auth, debugging and VPC problems are passed to other skills in the plugin.
Capabilities
- Connect an agent to APIs through AgentCore Gateway
- Configure outbound OAuth, API key or IAM authentication
- Write Cedar policies that restrict tool access
- Store API credentials for deployed agents
