What happened
AWS made Web Search on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore generally available (Aug 21, 2026), a managed server-side tool giving agents live, cited web knowledge with no data leaving the customer's AWS account, initially in US East (N. Virginia).
Why it matters
Removes the need for a third-party search API integration (with separate auth/data-handling review) for regulated customers building AgentCore agents, reducing a common data-exfiltration/vendor-risk surface in agent architectures.
Applicability
Teams building agents on Bedrock AgentCore in regulated environments who need grounded web search without external data egress.
