Amazon Bedrock adds managed web search for OpenAI models
AWS now exposes AgentCore Web Search through a standalone InvokeWebSearch API for AWS SDK and CLI callers, without creating a gateway. The existing connector still serves MCP clients and supports domain and publication-date controls across the documented Regions; the original 4 August managed-search event remains canonical.
Why it matters: Teams can choose a direct IAM-authorized API for application code or the gateway connector for MCP discovery. The split makes identity and policy easier to state, but neither path proves result quality, source safety or citation completeness.
