Quick Start: Secure, Scalable Agent Identity with AgentCore Identity
This guide walks through Amazon Bedrock senior architect Prasanna Sridharan's video demo of AgentCore Identity, showing how to centrally manage AI agent identities, tokens, and API keys, integrate with Amazon Cognito and OAuth, use the AgentCore SDK for runtime permissions, and apply scoped access control in real-world scenarios.
In the featured video, Amazon Bedrock senior architect Prasanna Sridharan introduces AgentCore Identity, a security‑focused identity and credential management service designed specifically for AI agents.
The demonstration highlights three key capabilities: (1) centralized management of agent identities, including creation, rotation, and revocation of access tokens and API keys; (2) seamless integration with existing identity providers such as Amazon Cognito and OAuth‑based services; and (3) fine‑grained permission controls that allow agents to act on behalf of users or operate autonomously within defined scopes.
A hands‑on code walkthrough uses the AgentCore SDK to create a new agent identity, assign scoped permissions, and manage runtime access. The example shows how to store tokens securely, retrieve them for API calls, and enforce access‑control policies during execution.
An application scenario demonstrates an agent performing actions with scoped permissions, leveraging the token store and access‑control mechanisms to ensure secure, auditable operations.
The article concludes by announcing upcoming quick‑start videos that will further explore AgentCore Identity features.
