🔥 AWS AgentCore Policy Question

If an AgentCore Policy states that ONLY a Finance principal can invoke Gateway tool named ToolA then a Marketing principal tool invocation will be denied by the policy.

Can the Marketing principal still invoke LISTTools on that Gateway and expect to ATLEAST list THAT SPECIFIC tool in the result?

🔥 AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional - ESTIMATED PASS RATE

Based on seeing very few new LinkedIn Early Adopter Badge posts over the past few days (maybe only 1–2), it appears around 5,000 people may have now passed the AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional certification.

Using ChatGPT for rough analysis and estimation for Pass Rate:

• The Udemy course by Frank Kane and Stéphane Maarek currently shows ~30,723 enrollments
• Not everyone enrolled actually attempts the exam
• Additional candidates likely used AWS Skill Builder, company training, other courses, or direct hands-on experience

Estimated totals:
• ~12,000–16,000 global exam attempts
• ~5,000 total passes

🚨 Estimated Gen AI Certification Pass Rate:
➡️ ~35–40% ⬅️

Unofficial ChatGPT-based estimate. Actual numbers may vary.

🧠 AWS AgentCore CLI Deployment Question

***This will save you a lot of frustration!***

You deployed your AI Agent (for example, a Strands Agent) using "agentcore deploy".

Then you executed the command below and received a valid response from the agent:
agentcore invoke "I prefer email updates" --session-id $SESSION_ID --user-id $USER_ID

After that, you made some code/file changes and deployed again using "agentcore deploy".

However, when you executed "agentcore invoke" again, the response did NOT reflect the updated deployed code.

You also verified that the AgentCore Runtime shows the updated deployment package, so this is not making any sense.

❓How can you fix this issue?
