Summary & Next Steps
What you did
| Step | What you did |
|---|---|
| Core Concepts | Learned how Agent Scanners automatically discover and catalog AI agents from external platforms |
| Add Amazon Bedrock Scanner | Connected to AWS using Access Key credentials, ran a discovery scan, and saw agents appear in the registry automatically |
| Value of Agent Scanners | Understood how centralisation enables governance, A2A collaboration, and real-time observability |
Key takeaways
Scanners eliminate manual agent cataloging. Instead of tracking down what AI agents exist across AWS, Salesforce, Google, and Microsoft — the scanner does it for you on a schedule.
The registry is the foundation for everything else. Governance policies, Agent Broker routing, and Agent Visualizer all depend on agents being in the registry first. The scanner gets them there automatically.
It keeps working after you leave. The Amazon Bedrock scanner you created will continue running on its schedule — new agents deployed in AWS will appear in the registry without any manual action.
