AgentCore Registry Launches: Governed Catalog for Agent and Tool Discovery

Full analysis

AWS launched AgentCore Registry in public preview, providing a private, governed catalog and discovery layer for agents, tools, skills, MCP servers, and custom resources. The registry is accessible via Console UI, APIs, or as an MCP server queryable directly from IDEs, and supports both IAM and OAuth (Custom JWT) based access control. The capability addresses a growing need in multi-agent deployments for centralized agent discovery and governance as agent portfolios scale.
