**Migration Now Open**  
 AWS Agent Registry has launched under the new `agent-registry` namespace. Support for the public preview `bedrock-agentcore` namespace will be discontinued on September 17, 2026. For migration instructions, see [Comprehensive registry migration guide](registry-faq.md).

## Overview

As a curator, you review records in Pending Approval status against your organization’s standards for security, compliance, and metadata quality.

## View pending records

As a curator, you can find records awaiting review from the registry detail page, AWS CLI, or AWS SDK.
