Part of the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke invoke_agent_runtime to trigger processes or run actions in AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
invoke_agent_runtime can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

invoke_agent_runtime is one of the high-risk operations in AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server. For the full severity-focused view — only the high-risk tools with their recommended policies — see the breakdown for this server, or browse all high-risk tools across every MCP server.
Invoke an agent hosted in AgentCore Runtime. Sends a request to the agent and returns the response. Each invocation uses or creates a microVM session identified by runtime_session_id. **BILLABLE OPERATION:** This creates or reuses a microVM session that incurs AWS compute charges for the duration of the session. Sessions auto-terminate after the configured idle timeout (default 15 minutes). Use stop_runtime_session to terminate early and save costs.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for invoke_agent_runtime. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server.
invoke_agent_runtime is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the invoke_agent_runtime rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for invoke_agent_runtime. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
invoke_agent_runtime is provided by the AWS Bedrock AgentCore MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
