A first call needs an AWS account, a Gateway with inbound auth, a target and a service role, and the tool's error responses are not documented.\n\n**Kagi Search API.** A public OpenAPI file, typed filters and API keys that can be limited by product and IP address make the API simple to call, at $12 per 1,000 searches. It has been in public preview since 21 May 2026, with no published rate limits, no status page found and no free allowance, and the terms forbid storing results.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore\n\n1. Call `tools/list` on the gateway and take the tool's name from it. AWS's call examples name gateway tools by target and tool\n2. Keep `query` to 200 characters and `maxResults` between 1 and 25 (default 10). The published schema states these limits only in descriptions\n3. Check the target's connector version before sending `filters`. Version 1.1.0, the default, exposes only `query` and `maxResults`\n4. Keep each result's URL and title with any answer built from it. AWS's acceptable-use terms require shown citations and bar storing results in bulk\n5. On a throttled request, wait the `retryAfter` seconds in the error body. The default quota is 10 Web Search requests a second, adjustable\n\n### Kagi Search API\n\n1. Send `POST https://kagi.com/api/v1/search` with a JSON body and `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e`, as the OpenAPI file defines. Only `query` is required\n2. Set `limit` to cap results returned. In the mixed `search` workflow the MCP tool applies the cap to each result category separately\n3. Use `extract.count` (1 to 10) only when page text is needed. Extraction is billed at the Extract rate on top of the search\n4. Do not store results. The API terms allow only the transient caching an application needs, and require deletion on termination\n5. On 429 back off before retrying. The response covers both rate limiting and an exhausted usage limit, and no `Retry-After` header is documented\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or Kagi Search API?\n\nWeb Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore scores 74.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Kagi Search API's 48.7 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Kagi Search API leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Which is cheaper for web search, Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or Kagi Search API?\n\nWeb Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, at $7 per 1,000 requests against $12 per 1,000 requests for Kagi Search API. These are the vendors' published prices for the job.\n\n### Do Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Kagi Search API need an API key?\n\nWeb Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.
