On October 13, 2026 the Strands Agents team published about 94,000 Harbor trials. On matched Anthropic runs, estimated cost ran from about $0.74 to $1.57 per trial.

Checked 16 Oct 2026: Qwen Decider 2B v1 scores 180 of 231. Gemma 4 12B, released 15 Oct, scores 200 of 231 at a 136 ms H100 median. Jev stays $0.042/MTok, with no matching JevBench row.

Checked 15 October 2026. The shared MCP adapter exposes 3 tools. execute-ability can run all 7 canonical abilities, including product-delete. Week one allows two reads.

OpenAI's 11 February 2026 Codex experiment merged about 1,500 pull requests. AgentCore Harness, GA 17 June 2026, still defaults to 75 iterations and a 3,600-second timeout — the harness sets those bounds, not the model.

Two CLIs, not one binary named bedrock-cli. AWS CLI 2.37.12 and agentcore 0.30.0, checked 11 October 2026.

Checked 8 October 2026. Storefront MCP is beta, with 7 B2C tools. search_products rejects a term under 3 characters. create_checkout_url takes 0 payment fields and returns a URL.

Checked 8 October 2026. Odoo 19 JSON-2 keys last at most 3 months. saas-19.4 MCP exposes 5 tools by default. action_confirm stays off the week-one agent.

Checked 6 October 2026. Catalog and cart tools on /api/mcp are removed. complete_checkout is off for both non-token tiers. Call UCP 2026-08-25 through an adapter, not an Admin token.

On September 29, 2026 AWS opened Bedrock Managed Agents, powered by OpenAI, in preview: 3 US Regions, no extra preview charge, and an 8-hour compute window in the AgentCore example. AWS runs the conversation. Your compute runs the tools.

Ten real lookups and three must-escalate cases, re-run before every release. A green latency chart is not correctness. Below 16 out of 30 readiness, do not add a write while you tune the set.

Three identities, not one token. The workload role, the shopper or associate, and the downstream API account. A shared admin credential fails the split. AgentCore Identity does not replace your order-system scopes.

Call the REST Management API with X-Auth-Token and a store hash. Webhook destinations must be port 443. One API account should not hold both read-orders and modify-orders for a week-one agent.
