AWS Open-Sources Dogwood, Extending Cedar to Govern Sequences of Agent Tool Calls
AWS has expanded its policy governance capabilities with the open-source release of Dogwood, an extension of Cedar. Dogwood introduces temporal reasoning, enabling rules to evaluate sequences of agent tool calls—crucial for approvals, rate limits, and running totals. Released under Apache 2.0, Dogwood is initially supported within AgentCore Policy. While the reference interpreter isn’t production-ready, this marks a significant step towards more sophisticated agent control. For context on broader agent tracing implementations, see our coverage of Cloudflare’s recent agent tracing launch.
Cloudflare Adds Agent Tracing, with Truncation Limits and Uneven Payload Defaults
Cloudflare has expanded its tracing capabilities with the introduction of Agent Tracing, now incorporating spans for agent invocations, model calls, tool runs, and approvals within Workers traces. This feature enables session replay, offering deeper insights into agent workflows. While traces provide valuable context, users should note that they are not lossless, and payloads may be truncated due to default settings that vary by framework. Starting October 1, 2026, each span will be a billable event.
