AgentCore CLI Reaches GA with Multi-Framework Scaffolding and Local Dev Tools
AWS just made it meaningfully easier to build production AI agents without getting locked into a single framework. AgentCore CLI v0.4.0 ships with scaffolding and hot reload for Strands, LangChain, Google ADK, and OpenAI Agents in one tool — plus a browser-based Inspector that lets you trace token usage and tool calls locally before anything touches the cloud. The multi-framework support is the real story: AWS is betting developers will pick the runtime they want and still land on AgentCore infrastructure.

The AgentCore CLI reached general availability at v0.4.0, providing a command-line tool for scaffolding, developing, and deploying AI agents. It supports multiple frameworks including Strands, LangChain, Google ADK (Agent Development Kit), and OpenAI Agents, with hot reload for local development and full infrastructure management for production deployments. A browser-based Agent Inspector UI was also added, letting developers chat with agents locally, inspect token usage and tool calls, view execution traces, and browse deployed AgentCore Memory before pushing to the cloud.
