Are there docs that reference KIRO_AGENT? When prompting Kiro to check runtime environment variables on Kiro IDE v1.0.337, there's no match on KIRO_AGENT.

Kiro service must export KIRO_AGENT for this to report, matching how Cursor behaves today. Setting this up for when it does.
I missed this in the description. I don't think we should ship code that depends on future work by the Kiro team. The user agent won't track Kiro IDE usage with or without this PR.

The agentic caller env var signals are already collected to populate the AGENTIC_CALLER_* metrics in the User-Agent, but they are only reachable through private helpers. Callers that want to adapt behavior when an agent is driving them -- for example suppressing interactive prompts that would otherwise block with no one to answer -- have to reimplement the table and then drift from it as new agents are added. Expose is_agentic_caller() so those callers stay in sync with what the SDK already reports. No change to the User-Agent itself.

The Kiro IDE and Kiro CLI are separate products with separate app bundles. Only the CLI exports KIRO_SESSION_ID, so commands driven by the IDE's agent were reported as ordinary human-run commands and its traffic was unattributed.
Add AGENTIC_CALLER_KIRO_IDE (AX), keyed on KIRO_AGENT. The variable is scoped to agent activity rather than to the editor being open, following CURSOR_AGENT and ANTIGRAVITY_AGENT.
Something like TERM_PROGRAM=kiro was rejected since the IDE's integrated terminal is also human-driven, so it would attribute a person's typing as agentic and make the metric non-comparable with the other AGENTIC_CALLER_* rows. Kiro service must export KIRO_AGENT for this to report, matching how Cursor behaves today. Setting this up for when it does.
Also expose is_agentic_caller() so callers that adapt behavior for agents (for example, suppressing interactive prompts) use the same signals the User-Agent already reports instead of reimplementing the table.
