Note

If the Registry’s Auto-Approval configuration is set to TRUE, then submitting a record for approval automatically approves it. Otherwise, if the Auto-Approval configuration is set to FALSE, then the record moves to 'Pending Approval' status and waits for the Curator to either Approve it or Reject it. Additionally, an Amazon EventBridge notification is triggered indicating a new record has been requested for approval.

aws bedrock-agentcore-control submit-registry-record-for-approval \
  --registry-id "<registryId>" \
  --record-id "<recordId>" \
  --region us-east-1

Schema validation

When you create or edit a record, the console and API validate your protocol configuration against the official schema for the selected record type. More details on validations can be found in Supported record types.
