2026/03/16 - Amazon Bedrock AgentCore - 1 new api methods
Changes Provide support to perform deterministic operations on agent runtime through shell command executions via the new InvokeAgentRuntimeCommand API
Executes a command in a runtime session container. Returns streaming output with contentStart, contentDelta, and contentStop events.

)
string
The MIME type of the input data in the request payload. This tells the agent runtime how to interpret the payload data. Common values include application/json for JSON data.
string
The desired MIME type for the response from the agent runtime command. This tells the agent runtime what format to use for the response data. Common values include application/json for JSON data.
string
Runtime session identifier
This field is autopopulated if not provided.
string
The trace identifier for request tracking.
string
The parent trace information for distributed tracing.
string
The trace state information for distributed tracing.
string
Additional context information for distributed tracing.
string
[REQUIRED]
ARN of the agent runtime
string
Version or alias qualifier
string
Account ID (12 digits)
dict
[REQUIRED]
Request body containing command and timeout
command (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The command to execute in the runtime container
timeout (integer) --
Command timeout in seconds (default: 300, min:1, max: 3600)
dict
The response of this operation contains an :class:`.EventStream` member. When iterated the :class:`.EventStream` will yield events based on the structure below, where only one of the top level keys will be present for any given event.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Response for InvokeAgentRuntimeCommand operation
runtimeSessionId (string) --
Runtime session identifier
traceId (string) --
The trace identifier for request tracking.
traceParent (string) --
The parent trace information for distributed tracing.
traceState (string) --
The trace state information for distributed tracing.
baggage (string) --
Additional context information for distributed tracing.
contentType (string) --
The MIME type of the response data. This indicates how to interpret the response data. Common values include application/json for JSON data.
statusCode (integer) --
The HTTP status code of the response. A status code of 200 indicates a successful operation. Other status codes indicate various error conditions.
stream (:class:`.EventStream`) --
Streaming output containing command execution events
chunk (dict) --
Response chunk containing command execution events
contentStart (:class:`.EventStream`) --
First chunk - indicates command execution has started
contentDelta (dict) --
Middle chunks - stdout/stderr output
stdout (string) --
Standard output content
stderr (string) --
Standard error content
contentStop (dict) --
Last chunk - indicates command execution has completed
exitCode (integer) --
Exit code: 0 = success, -1 = platform error, >0 = command error
status (string) --
Execution status
accessDeniedException (dict) --
Exception events for error streaming
message (string) --
internalServerException (dict) --
The exception that occurs when the service encounters an unexpected internal error. This is a temporary condition that will resolve itself with retries. We recommend implementing exponential backoff retry logic in your application.
message (string) --
resourceNotFoundException (dict) --
The exception that occurs when the specified resource does not exist. This can happen when using an invalid identifier or when trying to access a resource that has been deleted.
message (string) --
serviceQuotaExceededException (dict) --
The exception that occurs when the request would cause a service quota to be exceeded. Review your service quotas and either reduce your request rate or request a quota increase.
message (string) --
throttlingException (dict) --
The exception that occurs when the request was denied due to request throttling. This happens when you exceed the allowed request rate for an operation. Reduce the frequency of requests or implement exponential backoff retry logic in your application.
message (string) --
validationException (dict) --
The exception that occurs when the input fails to satisfy the constraints specified by the service. Check the error message for details about which input parameter is invalid and correct your request.
message (string) --
reason (string) --
fieldList (list) --
(dict) --
Stores information about a field passed inside a request that resulted in an exception.
name (string) --
The name of the field.
message (string) --
A message describing why this field failed validation.
runtimeClientError (dict) --
The exception that occurs when there is an error in the runtime client. This can happen due to network issues, invalid configuration, or other client-side problems. Check the error message for specific details about the error.
message (string) --
