AWS launches observable enterprise agentic RAG using Bedrock Managed Knowledge Bases and AgentCore with MCP.

AWS has evolved Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases from single-shot RAG to multi-turn agentic retrieval, deploying agents that reason, route across multiple knowledge bases, and return cited answers via the AgentCore Gateway using the Model Context Protocol. The solution adds seven layers of observability via OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation, addressing the 'black box' problem that emerges when agents reason and retrieve in loops. This is a practical enterprise pattern signal rather than a breakthrough, but it marks AWS formalizing agentic RAG as a managed, observable product tier.
