The TealTiger AgentCore plugin integrates governance into the AWS AgentCore agent lifecycle. It hooks into agent creation, execution, tool invocation, and termination to enforce policies at every stage of the agent lifecycle — from birth to decommission.
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).

Installation


Quick Start


Lifecycle Hooks

onCreate Hook

Triggered when a new agent instance is created in AgentCore. Enforces identity registration and scope assignment.

onExecute Hook

Triggered on every agent execution cycle. Evaluates the agent’s intended action against governance policy.

onTool Hook

Triggered when an agent invokes a tool. Provides fine-grained governance over tool usage.

onTerminate Hook

Triggered when an agent instance is terminated. Ensures clean shutdown with evidence.

Evidence Chain

The plugin produces a complete evidence chain for each agent’s lifecycle:
