Before AI agents, it was generally sufficient for access controls to treat each action as an independent event. Applications relied on deterministic business logic to enforce whether actions happened in the right order or whether the data was up-to-date. AI agents behave in fundamentally different ways than traditional applications. They decide at runtime which tools to call, with which arguments, and in what order. That flexibility, combined with increasingly intelligent models, makes agents equal measures capable and challenging to control. One tool call might be deemed safe when considered in isolation, but harmful in the context of the preceding call, such as after reading from an untrusted data source. The question then becomes, how do you enforce authorization rules that account for an agent’s session history, in a way the agent cannot circumvent? Temporal policies in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore let you define stateful rules that determine authorization to AgentCore Gateway targets by evaluating the current request in the context of prior events in an agent’s trajectory. Because these policies run at the AgentCore Gateway perimeter, outside the agent’s own code, the agent cannot intercept or manipulate them. In this post, you will learn what temporal policies are, how they work, and walk through an example to demonstrate. We will show you how to use temporal policies to enforce workflow sequencing, prevent data fabrication between tool calls, cap cumulative financial exposure per session, and require human approval for high-value actions. You will also see how to …
