GetPolicyGeneration - Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Control Plane

GetPolicyGeneration

Retrieves information about a policy generation request within the AgentCore Policy system. Policy generation converts natural language descriptions into Cedar policy statements using AI-powered translation, enabling non-technical users to create policies.
