Agent Mode
An autonomous agent mode in AI programming tools that allows a model to plan, write code, execute commands and verify its own work without step-by-step human intervention.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Postman's Agent Mode runs on Amazon Bedrock.
The widely circulated "40 million developers" refers to Postman's developer community, not the number of Agent Mode users.
Agent Mode requires user approval for operations that modify application state, and background request sending is no exception.
Agent Mode accesses Claude models through Bedrock's inference API and uses cross-region inference profiles to route workloads.
Agent Mode designed two context acquisition paths: background context is automatically collected from the workspace and trimmed before entering the prompt; focused context comes from the user's selections or mentions and is passed through a custom processor.
Agent Mode does not expose the full catalog of 170+ tools to the model; instead, it first searches for relevant capabilities, narrows the set to about 15, and then hands execution to a context-isolated sub-agent.
In Postman's testing, tool selection error rates began to climb once the visible tool set exceeded about 40.
The core difference between Agent Mode and traditional chatbots lies in tool-calling capability: traditional ChatGPT can only output text, while Agent Mode is granted permission to operate a browser, read local files, and execute multi-step tasks.
Postman runs its Agent Mode on Amazon Bedrock to support API call volumes from 40 million developers.
SKI's agent mode can output a complete transcript with speaker labels after the meeting.
