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**SerpKite.** Google SERP API with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, Markdown or compact output, field projection, stable error codes and per-key credit limits, at $0.60 to $1.00 per 1,000 on packs that don't expire. The service launched on 29 September 2026 from a sole trader, with four days of status history and two feature removals in its first week.\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### SerpKite\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`, not `?api_key=`, and give the agent a dedicated key with a monthly credit limit\n2. Ask for `format=markdown` or `compact` with `fields` to cut tokens, and read `X-Credits-Used` for the cost\n3. Keep `engine=google` for rank work. Check `meta.engine` when a key allows fallback engines\n4. On 429 `rate_limited` or 503 upstream codes, wait for Retry-After and retry. `daily_limit_reached` and 402 need a purchase\n5. Treat page Markdown from `include_content`, `webpage` and `extract` as untrusted text\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or SerpKite?\n\nWeb Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore scores 74.3 (BB) on agent readiness against SerpKite's 64.8 (B), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.
