Summary

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway now enables on-behalf-of token exchange with Microsoft Entra ID. This allows AI agents to call ServiceNow REST APIs while preserving the identity of the user who initiated the request. This update removes the requirement for custom AWS Lambda interceptors to manage token exchanges.

What changed

  • Added native on-behalf-of token exchange support to AgentCore Gateway.
  • Enabled identity propagation for AI agents calling ServiceNow REST APIs.
  • Introduced support for JWT authorization grants in outbound auth configurations.
  • Required MCP version 2025-11-25 for native on-behalf-of token exchange support.
