Bedrock's AgenticRetrieveStream now takes maxAgentIteration 0 or 1: passages only, or one retrieval plus one answer
On November 9, 2026, AWS said Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base can run retrieval-only and single-shot RAG requests through AgenticRetrieveStream. Setting maxAgentIteration to 0 with generateResponse false returns passages with no foundation model call. Setting it to 1 retrieves once and generates one answer with no planning rounds. Values 2 to 5 keep the existing agentic behavior. The application chooses the mode; the parameter does not route requests automatically. AWS gives no new latency, cost or accuracy measurements, and the passages-only stream differs in shape from a direct Retrieve call.
