No idea. I would like to know if it’s poisonous, as I was worried about it biting my son. I put it outside, to be on the safe side.

It looks like a Ground Spider in family Gnaphosidae. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_spider The link I included, from Wikipedia, says there are no known medically significant spiders in the family. There are several species that can be found in Uraguay.
These spiders hunt prey by chasing rather than by web.
You did the best thing by taking a photo and putting it outside while you learn. 🙂
That’s really helpful – thank you so much ☺️
