AWS Step Functions Integrates Natively with AgentCore Harness for Agentic Workflows

Full analysis

AWS Step Functions now integrates natively with AgentCore harness, allowing teams to embed agent reasoning steps directly into production workflows. Developers can run multiple harnesses in parallel or sequence, and wrap them with human approval gates, error handling, or conditional routing. Harnesses can be created inline from the Step Functions visual builder or referenced with per-invocation overrides to model, system prompt, and tools, making it easier to operationalize complex multi-step agent pipelines with existing AWS workflow tooling.
