Sample Strands Agent with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is an end-to-end reference architecture for building multi-agent chatbots on AWS. Teams use it to explore agent orchestration, tool execution, memory, browser automation, and agent-to-agent collaboration with Strands Agents and Bedrock AgentCore.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00041 | $0.00672 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00269 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00134 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
workspace scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Workspace
Provides unified read/write access to all files in the current session. The userId and sessionId are injected automatically — you only specify the logical path.
Path Conventions
| Prefix | What it accesses |
|---|---|
uploads/<file> |
Files uploaded by the user |
code-agent/<file> |
Files created by the code agent (auto-synced) |
code-interpreter/<file> |
Files created in the Code Interpreter workspace |
documents/powerpoint/<file> |
PowerPoint presentations |
documents/word/<file> |
Word documents |
documents/excel/<file> |
Excel spreadsheets |
documents/image/<file> |
Images from other tools |
Note: Files written under
/mnt/workspacepersist for the chat session, and user uploads are available under/mnt/workspace/inputs. Code Agent downloads session uploads into its own working directory when delegated.
Usage
See everything in the session:
workspace_list()
workspace_list("uploads/")
workspace_list("code-agent/")
Read a file the code agent created:
workspace_read("uploads/data.jsonl") # uploaded structured data
workspace_read("code-agent/calculator.png") # binary → base64
workspace_read("code-agent/report.md") # text → string
Pass a file from one skill to another:
result = workspace_read("documents/excel/data.xlsx") # encoding: base64
workspace_write("code-agent/data.xlsx", result["content"], encoding="base64")
Notes
- Text files return
encoding: "text"with plain string content. Large text reads are bounded; whentruncatedis true, use Code Interpreter for the complete file instead of repeatedly reading it into model context. Code Interpreter uses/mnt/workspace/inputs/<file>. - JSON, JSONL, and NDJSON uploads are text files; large chat attachments may
be truncated in model context, but the complete file remains under
uploads/ - Binary files (images, Office docs, PDF, etc.) return
encoding: "base64" workspace_writeaccepts both encodings — use"base64"for binary- Files written here are immediately available to all other skills in the session
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

workspace is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore (197 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 672 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
