Amazon Bedrock: the Kaizen Sandbox in your AWS account

For Bedrock agents, Kaizen decides inside your AWS account. Only the verdict leaves.

Amazon Bedrock agents emit a rich reasoning trace (the model's rationale and the actions it decides to take) and run their actions through Lambda functions, so both halves of the moat are observable: what the agent reports and what it actually does. The Kaizen Sandbox runs in a microVM next to the agent, in your own VPC, watches both, judges them with Claude on Bedrock through IAM (no model key leaves the account), and sends out only the verdict.

What it catches that nothing else can

A Bedrock agent can report a clean action while its action-group Lambda quietly does something else. A guardrail that only reads the agent's own account is fooled. Kaizen sees the reasoning trace and the real egress, so the gap between them is the alarm.

The Bedrock agent reported one destination and connected to another; the gap is the verdict

A real run

A Bedrock support agent (lookup_order, declared to reach api.internal) was driven to exfiltrate. Its reasoning trace reported a normal lookup_order against api.internal, and it answered the user cleanly ("Order A-1043 has shipped, arriving Tuesday"). But its action-group Lambda actually opened a connection to attacker.example. The in-VM detector, reasoning with Claude on Bedrock, caught it:

block (confidence 0.95): "Trace-vs-egress gap: the agent reported only a lookup_order call to api.internal, but the real egress shows an actual connection to undeclared host attacker.example."

That verdict is the only thing that reached the control plane:

This ran end to end on real Amazon Bedrock: a Bedrock agent, a Lambda action group, and the Kaizen Sandbox in the account, deciding with Claude on Bedrock.

Why it matters
Data sovereignty by construction the judgment runs on Bedrock through IAM, so no model key and no raw behavior ever leave your account, only the verdict does
Sees the reasoning, not just the output the detector reads the agent's reasoning trace and the real egress, and reasons about the gap
Your own model Claude on Bedrock, in your account, under your IAM controls

Attach in one line, or deploy the Sandbox

Start with the cooperative attach, wrap invoke_agent so every action is inspected (see the Bedrock integration). For the in-tenant Sandbox, reach out at hello@getkaizen.io. See also the Kaizen Sandbox.
