AgentCore CLI Reaches GA with Multi-Framework Scaffolding Including Google ADK and OpenAI Agents
AWS just made framework lock-in someone else's problem. AgentCore CLI hit GA at v0.4.0 supporting Strands, LangChain, Google ADK, and OpenAI Agents from day one — meaning developers scaffold, develop locally with hot reload, and deploy to production infrastructure without committing to a single framework vendor. The Agent Inspector UI landing in April adds token usage, tool calls, and execution traces in-browser. The real question is whether "we support everyone" becomes a genuine competitive moat or just a longer onboarding checklist.
Full analysis
The AgentCore CLI reached general availability at v0.4.0 in March 2026, providing a command-line tool for scaffolding, developing, and deploying AI agents. It supports multiple agent frameworks at project creation — Strands, LangChain, Google ADK (Agent Development Kit), and OpenAI Agents — with local development including hot reload, and full infrastructure management for production deployment. An Agent Inspector UI, launched in April, adds a browser-based interface for inspecting token usage, tool calls, execution traces, and deployed memory during local development.
