AWS bedrock-agentcore documentation change

Service: bedrock-agentcore · 2026-04-01 · Documentation low

File: bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/long-term-configuring-built-in-strategies.md

Summary

Updated code examples to use boto3 client for Bedrock AgentCore Control Plane instead of the starter toolkit's MemoryManager, changing API calls and parameter structures

Security assessment

This change updates documentation to reflect a new API interface (boto3 client vs starter toolkit). While it changes how developers interact with the service, there's no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The change appears to be a routine API update or documentation correction without security implications.
