  • You have an AWS account with Amazon Bedrock enabled in your chosen region.

Bedrock Foundation Models

​
Hub Parameters

You need to specify the region, access_key, and secret_access_key in the hub_config parameter when creating an API key. 
hub_config = {
    "region": "your-region",
    "access_key": "your-access-key",
    "secret_access_key": "your-secret-access-key",
}

client.api_keys.create(
    name="bedrock-model-test",
    model_hub="bedrock",
    hub_config=hub_config
)
Specify bedrock as the hub when creating an API key or new agent configuration in Vijil.

​
Model ID

If you’re evaluating a foundation model, you need to specify its Model ID from the list of supported models and prepend us. to it. For example, if you want to evaluate amazon.nova-lite-v1:0, you would specify us.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0 as the model name.

​
Bedrock Agent Configuration

If you are evaluating a custom agent on Bedrock, you need to specify the following fields in the hub_config parameter when creating an API key: 
hub_config = {
    "agent_id": "your_agent_id",
    "agent_alias_id": "your_agent_alias_id",
    "region": "your-region",
    "access_key": "your-access-key",
    "secret_access_key": "your-secret-access-key",
}

client.api_keys.create(
    name="bedrock-test",
    model_hub="bedrockAgents",
    hub_config=hub_config,
    rate_limit_per_interval=60, # optional
    rate_limit_interval=60 # optional
)

client.agents.create(
    name="bedrock-agent",
    model_hub="bedrockAgents",
    api_key_name="bedrock-test"
)
Specify bedrockAgents as the hub when creating an API key or new agent configuration in Vijil.

​
Register an Agent on Vijil

Once your Bedrock or Bedrock Agents credentials are stored as an API key, you can register an agent that uses this hub from the Vijil UI:
  1. Press Register Agent.
  2. Enter an Agent name.
  3. Select AWS Bedrock as the Hub (for foundation models) or AWS Bedrock Agents as the Hub (for Bedrock-hosted agents).
Setting up an AWS-based Agent in Vjil
  • Enter a model name (for example us.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0 for foundation models).
  1. Select an existing Bedrock or Bedrock Agents API key you configured earlier, or create a new one.
  2. Add a System Prompt if you want Vijil to send a default system prompt with every request to this agent.

​
Enterprise

If your organization uses enterprise-only features with Vijil:
  1. Add an MCP server URL so the agent can access MCP tools exposed by that server.
  2. Add an A2A Agent Card URL so this agent can participate in agent-to-agent workflows defined in your enterprise.
