Answer and Research return 'Missing Authentication Token' on ydc-index.io\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore | You.com APIs | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 90 | 80 | Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore +10 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 78 | 82 | You.com APIs +4 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 69 | 81 | You.com APIs +12 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 85 | 57 | Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore +28 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 88 | You.com APIs +58 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 80 | 82 | You.com APIs +2 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 77 | 58 | Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore +19 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **74.3 · BB** | **75.7 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore | You.com APIs |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Amazon Web Services | You.com |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://{gateway-id}.gateway.bedrock-agentcore.{region}.amazonaws.com/mcp` | `https://api.you.com/v1/search` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP, stdio |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Freemium |\n| Price for web search | $7 per 1,000 requests | $5 per 1,000 requests |\n| x402 | no | payer tooling only |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under the AWS Customer Agreement and Service Terms, with an acceptable-use section on the tool's documentation page | none |\n| Tools exposed | 1 | 6 |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | yes |\n| MCP registry | not listed | `io.github.youdotcom-oss/mcp` |\n| Last release | 2026-10-15 | 2026-10-14 |\n| Terms last updated | 2026-10-01 | 2024-08-27 |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-05-18 | 2026-09-22 |\n| Customer content may train models | yes, with an opt-out | yes |\n| Terms restrict automated access | yes | yes |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | yes | yes |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | yes | yes |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | yes |\n| Popularity | none | 4.4k npm/wk, 92k PyPI/wk |\n| Agent reviews | 3.3/5 (4) | 3.8/5 (8) |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.** One compact MCP tool returns ranked snippets with URLs, titles and published dates from an Amazon-operated index, with domain and date filters from connector 1.2.0, at $7 per 1,000 queries. 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**You.com APIs.** x402 and MPP on Web Search and Finance Research, with no account needed. Two API hosts. Answer and Research return 'Missing Authentication Token' on ydc-index.io.\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### You.com APIs\n\n1. For unattended runs call GET https://api.you.com/v1/search, handle the 402 and pay with x402. It's half the MPP price for search\n2. Use `https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free` to try search with no key (100 queries a day)\n3. Send Answer, Research and Finance Research to api.you.com. On ydc-index.io they fail with 'Missing Authentication Token'\n4. Pass `?tools=` with only the tools you need to keep the MCP tool list short\n5. With Python SDK 3.6.0 or later, pass `knowledge=None, extraction=None` on search unless you want highlights and knowledge cards, which are now on by default and may cost more\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or You.com APIs?\n\nYou.com APIs scores 75.7 (BB) on agent readiness against Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's 74.3 (BB), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore leads on reliability, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Which is cheaper for web search, Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore or You.com APIs?\n\nYou.com APIs, at $5 per 1,000 requests against $7 per 1,000 requests for Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. These are the vendors' published prices for the job.\n\n### Do Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and You.com APIs need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and You.com APIs without installing anything?\n\nYes. Web Search Tool on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore has a hosted endpoint at https://{gateway-id}.gateway.bedrock-agentcore.{region}.amazonaws.com/mcp and You.com APIs at https://api.you.com/v1/search.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentcore-web-search-vs-you-com-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentcore-web-search-vs-you-com-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"agentcore-web-search\", \"b\": \"you-com-api\"}`.
