Streamline AI agent tool interactions: Connect API Gateway to AgentCore Gateway with MCP

AgentCore Gateway now supports API GatewayAs organizations explore the possibilities of agentic applications, they continue to navigate challenges of using enterprise data as context in invocation requests to large language models (LLMs) in a manner that is secure and aligned with enterprise policies.
