AWS bedrock-agentcore documentation change

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

File: bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/runtime-get-started-websocket.md

Summary

Updated documentation to replace references to 'Amazon Bedrock AgentCore starter toolkit' with 'AgentCore CLI', changing installation method from pip to npm and updating deployment commands from 'configure/launch' to 'create/deploy'.

Security assessment

This change updates tooling references and deployment workflows but contains no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incidents. The changes are procedural updates about using a different CLI tool (npm-based vs pip-based) with no security context mentioned.
