aws-agents

Use when measuring or improving agent quality and performance — set up evaluators, online monitoring, CI/CD quality gates, observability, or cost optimization. Triggers on: "evaluate my agent", "add evaluator", "measure quality", "quality gate", "run evals", "agent too slow", "why is it slow", "reduce latency", "set up observability", "CloudWatch dashboard", "how much does my agent cost", "cost optimization", "logs not showing up", "logs missing", "spans not found", "eval failing", "eval error", "dev traces", "local traces", "agentcore dev traces", "traces to CloudWatch". Not for debugging errors or crashes — use agents-debug. Slow but correct routes here; broken routes to debug.

Use when adding capabilities to an existing agent project — memory, app integration, VPC, multi-agent, migration, model changes, browser, code interpreter, or resource removal. Triggers on: "add memory", "remember across sessions", "call agent from app", "invoke agent from code", "auth to call agent", "streaming responses", "VPC", "VPC connectivity", "VPC error", "can't reach from VPC", "multi-agent", "A2A", "A2A auth", "orchestrator not delegating", "specialist not called", "migrate Bedrock Agent", "after import", "migration issue", "framework for migration", "change model", "browser tool", "code interpreter", "delete agent", "tear down", "agentcore remove", "cross-account memory", "resource-based policy on memory". Not for connecting to external APIs via Gateway — use agents-connect. Not for scaffolding a new project — use agents-get-started. Not for CLI/dev server errors — use agents-debug. Strands vs LangGraph in a migration context routes here.

Use when connecting your agent to external APIs, tools, or services via Gateway, or restricting tool access with Cedar policies. Handles gateway setup, target types, outbound auth (OAuth, API key, IAM), credentials, and Cedar policy authoring. Triggers on: "connect to API", "add gateway", "connect to MCP server", "Lambda tools", "OpenAPI", "gateway target", "Cedar policy", "restrict tools", "policy engine", "gateway auth error", "store API key", "outbound credential", "env var API key", "API key None after deploy", "credential not available after deploy", "should this be a gateway target", "give my agent tools", "add tools to agent". Not for inbound auth (who can call your agent) — use agents-harden. Not for debugging agent behavior — use agents-debug. Not for VPC networking errors (agent can't reach APIs due to VPC) — use agents-build. Not for creating or hosting a new MCP server project — use agents-get-started.

Use when your agent or environment is broken — wrong answers, errors, timeouts, tool failures, or CLI issues. Reads traces and logs to diagnose root causes. Also checks prerequisites when the CLI itself isn't working. Triggers on: "agent not working", "wrong answer", "agent error", "tool call failing", "debug agent", "check logs", "read traces", "broken", "500 error", "424 error", "model access denied", "command not found", "stuck in DELETING", "maxVms exceeded", "cold start diagnosis", "cold start slow", "agentcore create error", "create failed", "exit code 7", "connection refused local dev". Not for deploy failures — use agents-deploy. Not for performance tuning without errors — use agents-optimize. Not for VPC configuration — use agents-build. Not for observability setup or missing logs — use agents-optimize.

Use when deploying your agent to AWS, or when a deploy has failed. Handles pre-flight validation, CDK/IAM/quota error diagnosis, version management, rollback, and canary deployments. Triggers on: "deploy my agent", "agentcore deploy", "deploy failed", "CDK error", "rollback", "canary deploy", "pin version", "redeploy", "deploy stuck". Not for production hardening — use agents-harden. Not for adding capabilities before deploy — use agents-build or agents-connect. Not for VPC configuration errors — use agents-build.
