What is agents-connect?

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.

connect

Give your AgentCore agent access to external APIs, tools, and services via the AgentCore Gateway — and control what it can access with Cedar policies.

When to use

  • You want your agent to call an external API or MCP server
  • You want to expose Lambda functions as agent tools
  • You have an OpenAPI spec you want to turn into agent tools
  • Your agent needs credentials to call an external service
  • You want to restrict which tools your agent can call (Cedar policies)
  • You want role-based or amount-based access control on tool calls
  • A gateway connection, tool call, or policy authorization is failing
