Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports MCP Apps, which return interactive visualizations alongside your AI agent's text responses. Learn how a single, locally run MCP server lets your agent move from alert to trace to logs to root cause in one conversation, and how you can verify every step inline without leaving your IDE.
Recursive self-improvement (RSI) remains hard in long-horizon tasks, where growing histories obscure the task state and misalign skill invocation. We introduce Recuris, a recursive Experiential-Working Memory architecture for long-horizon agent harnesses, in which Working Memory tracks task progress and guides skill selection from Experiential Memory, grounding skill use in current needs rather than the full history. This coupling also turns execution into structured evidence that localizes failures to specific memory components. Across tasks, a fixed Meta-Agent turns that evidence into localized, validation-gated updates to Skill Memory that reshape execution and yield new evidence, forming a bounded recursive memory-evolution loop. Across four long-horizon benchmarks and ten models, Recuris improves task success in 35 of the 37 completed model-benchmark pairs, carrying frontier models to SOTA-level task success: on tau-bench it adds +17.8 points to GPT-5.6 Sol and +15.6 to Claude Opus 5, taking Opus 5 to 87.9%, and +16.6/+13.5 points on Qwen3.6-27B/35B on SkillFlow. The advantage widens as the interaction horizon grows, to +32.2 points on the longest tasks, and common long-horizon failures fall by up to 80%. These results position recursively evolving memory as a scalable foundation for RSI, enabling agents to continuously transform accumulated experience into increasingly effective long-horizon behavior.

We present StarHarness, a framework for evolving environment-specific agent harnesses while keeping model weights fixed. The evolved harness can include prompt and task framing, tool interfaces, skills, MCP-backed providers, subagent structure, and agent-loop configuration. StarHarness constructs a compact evolution pool by stratifying tasks according to baseline failure behavior, separates proposer-visible search tasks from proposer-hidden selection tasks, and reserves held-out tasks for evaluating generalization. Across ITBench SRE, EnterpriseOps-Gym ITSM, and AutomationBench Finance, harness evolution improves full-benchmark performance by 20-35 percentage points over the default harness after 4-12 accepted changes per environment. These gains persist on tasks excluded from evolution and transfer without re-evolution across GPT and Qwen model families. Trace analysis links the improvements to interface repairs, environment conventions, and operational knowledge that compresses search, with fewer false-positive diagnoses and shorter trajectories in several settings. StarHarness therefore offers a practical way to reduce persistent model-environment mismatch in tool-rich enterprise tasks.
LLM-based agents can interact with external environments through tool invocation, but this capability also introduces security risks such as file modification, information leakage, and unauthorized actions. Existing guardrails often evaluate completed trajectories, leaving pre-execution monitoring of step-level actions underexplored. We propose StepGuard, a step-level guard model that can audit completed agent trajectories and check tool actions before they are executed. To train StepGuard, we introduce StepGen, an automatic data engine that generates safe and unsafe trajectories with the same context but different actions at the risky step. To further reduce over-defense and under-defense, we propose Balance-GRPO, which dynamically balances learning between safe and unsafe actions based on their observed accuracy. Experiments show that StepGuard achieves the highest average accuracy among open-weight guard models, with performance comparable to GPT-5.4. When used to guard agents on AgentDojo and AgentDyn, StepGuard reduces mean attack success rate by 77.3% relative to the no-guard setting, while mean utility drops by only 2.8 percentage points.
