Use decision models with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations can now integrate with decision models via code-based evaluators to score artificial intelligence agents across their development and production lifecycles. AgentCore Evaluations includes 15 built-in evaluators as well as custom options, such as an LLM-as-a-judge or code-based logic executed in AWS Lambda functions. Through these Lambda functions, developers can connect external systems and APIs, including decision models, to assess whether an agent stays on policy, provides gr…

Use decision models with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations

Some of the questions you ask when evaluating an agent are narrow and repeatable. Did this response stay on policy? Is this tool call safe to approve? Does this answer match the retrieved context? Decision models answer exactly that kind of question. They take a structured state and a fixed set of allowed answers and return a calibrated probability over them, rather than free-form text whose confidence drifts from run to run. That makes them a strong fit for the scoring step in an agent evaluation, where you want a label and a number you can threshold and trust.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations, a capability of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, scores an agent through its entire lifecycle, on demand during development, in batch jobs against stored sessions, and online against production traffic. Alongside 15 built-in evaluators, AgentCore Evaluations supports custom evaluators that you define as either an LLM-as-a-judge or a code-based evaluator. Custom LLM-as-a-judge evaluators apply your instructions and rating scale with a model in Amazon Bedrock. Code-based evaluators run your…
