AWS AgentCore adds domain filters to Web Search
Runtime domain and date filters let agents fetch only trusted, fresh sources in real-time
Amazon Bedrock's AgentCore now offers runtime domain and published-date filtering for Web Search, enabling developers to enforce granular source and freshness controls at the API call level. The feature ships with the web-search connector v1.2.0 and adds support for AWS Regions eu-west-1 (Dublin) and ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo), reducing latency for European and Asia Pacific workloads.
The runtime filtering capability allows per-request control over domains via allowlists/denylists (up to 100 domains each) and published-date ranges using ISO-8601 bounds. This complements existing admin-level policies, creating a layered governance model. For example, a financial services agent can restrict searches to .gov domains while a customer support agent can fetch only documentation published in the last 7 days. The entire lifecycle—from filtered query to verified results—runs server-side in AWS, ensuring zero egress and compliance with data residency requirements.
- Runtime domain/date filters in AgentCore v1.2.0 web-search connector allow per-call control over trusted sources and content freshness
- Expands Web Search to AWS Regions eu-west-1 (Dublin) and ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo) for lower latency and EU data proximity
- Server-side enforcement ensures zero egress architecture, ideal for regulated industries
