The AGILE satellite, in orbit since 2007, localized up to October 2009 about 1 Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) per month with the hard X-ray imager SuperAGILE (18 - 60 keV) (with a rate reduced by a factor 2-3 in spinning mode) and is detecting around 1 GRB per week with the non-imaging Mini-Calorimeter (MCAL, 0.35 - 100 MeV). Up to October 2011 the AGILE Gamma Ray Imaging Detector firmly detected four GRBs in the energy band between 20 MeV and few GeV. In this paper we review the status of the GRBs observation with AGILE and discuss the upper limits in the gamma-ray band of the non-detected events.
