Build a semantic layer for agentic AI on AWS with AtScale and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
In the first post in this series, we built a semantic layer on AWS using Stardog’s knowledge graph over Amazon Aurora and Amazon Redshift.

Proof1 independent outlet
Key points
- We ran a Strands agent on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore against that layer.
- AtScale authors the model in the Semantic Modeling Language, an open, YAML-based specification versioned in Git, and exposes it simultaneously, from a single deployed model, over three protocols: SQL, XML for Analysis (XMLA), and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- How AtScale plans a dimensional query against Amazon Redshift, and how AtScale’s autonomous aggregate management accelerates the query patterns an agent generates.
- How to expose the model to an AgentCore-hosted Strands agent through the AtScale MCP server, and how to register that MCP server with AgentCore Gateway, a capability of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
