This plugin mitigates the risk of ungoverned agent lifecycle in AgentCore deployments. Without lifecycle governance, agents can be created without identity verification, execute without policy checks, and persist beyond their intended lifetime.
Why This Matters
Compliance alignment: AWS Well-Architected AI/ML Lens, NIST AI RMF (MAP 1.5), OWASP ASI-07 (Identity & Access).
