Description

Just going off of this: https://aws.github.io/bedrock-agentcore-starter-toolkit/user-guide/runtime/quickstart.html

The code samples you're providing are using the default credentials providers chain which is all fine and good, however many customers for very, very good reasons are not going to be able to configure long term AKIDS with IAM users so asking them to run `aws configure` isn't super useful.

Good guidance would be telling the customer to setup a default aws profile with credentials, or setting AWS credentials in environment variables. This gives customers flexibility on following this tutorial without being forced down a path any customer with a security posture can't follow.

Research direction

Start with the linked runtime quickstart page and review its AWS credential setup guidance. Update the instructions to cover a default AWS profile and environment variables instead of relying only on `aws configure`; done means customers can follow the quickstart without long-term IAM user credentials.
