State Management in Multi-Step Tasks

Production agents need explicit state handling for context continuity, retries, and escalation paths. AgentCore Memory gives you managed short-term memory (multi-turn conversation state) and long-term memory (persists across sessions and can be shared across agents), instead of hand-rolling a session store.

• Store only required context to minimize leakage risk.
• Expire stale state to avoid wrong assumptions.
• Capture handoff summaries for human operators.
