Your AI agent’s next tool call may be valid but wrong. AWS’s Dogwood promises to fix that.
↗
AWS released Dogwood, an open-source policy language and reference interpreter for governing AI agent action sequences.
AI agents can make tool calls that are syntactically valid but contextually inappropriate, and Dogwood gives developers a way to define policies that constrain those sequences. This addresses a real gap in agent reliability where traditional validation doesn't catch semantically wrong actions. With only one source covering this, the broader industry reception remains unknown.
