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### Valyu\n\n1. Set `max_price` and `max_num_results` on every search to bound cost\n2. Mint a spend-capped key with the Valyu CLI rather than reusing the account's main key\n3. Call `valyu_search`. The legacy per-vertical MCP tools stop working on 2026-12-01\n4. A 206 means some sources failed. Check which before treating results as complete\n5. DeepResearch is async. Poll `valyu_deepresearch_status` rather than waiting in one call\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or Valyu?\n\nWeb Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore scores 74.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Valyu's 64.6 (B), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.
