Currently, streaming responses are not directly supported for AWS Bedrock Agents using the InvokeAgent API through the boto3 SDK. The streamingConfigurations parameter you're trying to use is not recognized because it's not implemented in the current version of the SDK for this specific operation.

However, there are a few alternatives you can consider:

  1. Use other Bedrock APIs: While Bedrock Agents don't support streaming, other Bedrock APIs like InvokeModelWithResponseStream or ConverseStream do offer streaming capabilities for certain models. These might be useful if you can adapt your use case to work with these APIs instead.

  2. Implement a workaround: You could potentially break down your agent interaction into smaller chunks and make multiple non-streaming calls, simulating a streaming-like experience on the client side.

  3. Use direct HTTP requests: As an advanced option, you could bypass the SDK limitations by making direct HTTP requests to the Bedrock API endpoints. This would require manually handling authentication and parsing responses, which can be complex.

  4. Wait for future updates: AWS regularly updates its services, so streaming support for Bedrock Agents may be added in the future. Keep an eye on AWS announcements and documentation for any updates.

  5. Optimize response time: In the meantime, you could focus on optimizing your agent's response time by using faster models or refining your prompts to reduce latency.

  6. Implement UI enhancements: To improve user experience, consider adding visual cues in your application (like loading indicators) to show that the agent is processing the request.

It's worth noting that even if streaming were available for agents, the benefits might be limited since agent responses often involve multiple chained LLM calls, with only the final generation being potentially streamable.

For the most up-to-date information on this topic, it's advisable to check the official AWS documentation regularly or consult with AWS Support for specific guidance on your use case.

Hello.

If you look at the document below, there is "streamingConfigurations" in boto3's "invoke_agent", so I think it can be used.
What version of boto3 are you using?
"1.35.99" is the current latest version, so if you are using an older version, please try upgrading the boto3 version.
