Secure AI agents with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Identity on Amazon ECS | Amazon Web Services

AI agents in production require secure access to external services. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Identity, available as a standalone service, secures how your AI agents access external services whether they run on compute platforms like Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Lambda, or on-premises.

An earlier post covered AgentCore Identity credential management for AI agents. Running agents on compute environments like ECS raises two questions: How to build an application-owned Session Binding endpoint, and how to manage workload access token lifecycle?

This post implements Authorization Code Grant (3-legged OAuth) on Amazon ECS with secure session binding and scoped tokens. This post provides a working implementation with:

  • Secure session binding that prevents CSRF and browser-swapping attacks
  • Auth tokens scoped to each user session, following least-privilege principles
  • Separation of concerns between the agent workload and session binding…
