ai:agent type:integration

Connects AI agents to remote Windows desktop applications on Amazon WorkSpaces Applications (AppStream 2.0) through the managed Agent Access MCP server, and guides reliable desktop automation. Covers connecting an agent to the MCP endpoint (SigV4, streaming URL, and Active Directory SAML/Domain Join), BLOCKING vs POLLING connect modes, the computer-use tools (screenshot, click, type, key, scroll), screenshot-budget and action-batching discipline, MCP tool forwarding (forwarded___ tools), session lifecycle and expire-on-delete, and troubleshooting connection errors. Use when building or debugging an agent that drives a remote Windows desktop or GUI application via WorkSpaces Applications / AppStream — including "dcv session not ready", "client_disconnected", 400 signing-region, POLLING/connection_status, SAML assertion, or forwarded tool questions. Not for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal/Core virtual desktops or general AppStream fleet administration unrelated to agent access.
