Status
Amazon Q Developer is Beta.
The integration path is built and tested. Customers can attach now; expect minor breaking changes until the 1.0 contract freeze.
How to attach
Cloud event subscription.
Issue a workspace API key
Generate a key in the dashboard under Settings → API Keys, scoped to the workspace and environment this agent's data should land in.
Forward the cloud event bus
Issue an ingest secret (POST /api/ingest/secrets with a platformId of cloud-event:aws, :gcp, :azure or :cloudflare — the forwarder is keyed by cloud, not by framework), then subscribe that cloud's native event bus in the account where Amazon Q Developer runs and point it at the returned URL with the secret in X-Intramedial-Ingest-Secret. The ready-made CloudFormation, Terraform and ARM snippets are not in the dashboard yet, so this wiring is hand-rolled for now — talk to us and we will write it with you.
Verify
Trigger one agent run. The Witness page shows the record once the agent has emitted it.
What gets recorded
2 event types, captured today.
- agent.invocation
- Every top-level agent run — the input, the resolved output, timing and token usage.
- tool.call
- Each tool or function the agent invokes, with its arguments and returned result.

Start recording Amazon Q Developer agents.
Every Amazon Q Developer run lands in the same canonical Witness record as every other framework in the catalogue: signed, replayable, and exportable as evidence.
Agents act when the plane says yes, and the record says why.
Put admission in front of your MCP servers, repositories, SaaS tools and cloud accounts. Every agent gets a lease or a reason – and you keep the lever to stop any of them.
