AWS Bedrock enables programmatic tool calling for LLMs

Amazon Bedrock now supports programmatic tool calling (PTC), a new method for large language models to interact with external tools. PTC allows models to generate code that invokes multiple tools simultaneously within a sandboxed environment, significantly reducing latency and token consumption compared to traditional sequential tool calls. This approach is particularly beneficial for complex data processing and multi-step operations, with AWS offering three implementation methods on Bedrock. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM efficiency for complex tasks by enabling parallel tool execution and reducing token usage.

    Implementing programmatic tool calling on Amazon Bedrock

    In this post, we show three ways to implement Programmatic tool calling (PTC) on Amazon Bedrock: a self-hosted Docker sandbox on ECS for maximum control, a managed solution using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter, and an Anthropic SDK-compatible path through a proxy for t…
