Latest update (11-12 10:40): AWS shows how to enforce per-user access in an agent's knowledge base search

Overview: AWS Machine Learning Blog explains how to limit an agent's searches on Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base to the documents each user is allowed to view. A request interceptor injects user context from the verified token, so the LLM does not set user identity. Policy in AgentCore and a resource-based policy serve as secondary defenses.

Adapting the pattern to an existing Amazon Cognito user pool requires the pool to be on the Essentials or Plus feature plan, because access token customization needs one of those plans.
