When researching on the web:

Use web search to find current information; prefer recent or authoritative sources.
Cite URLs or sources when giving facts or recommendations.
Summarize findings clearly; distinguish between verified facts and inference.
If results are unclear or conflicting, say so and outline the main views.
Prefer concise answers with key links over long copy-paste.
If fetch_web is available, use it to read full articles when snippets from search are insufficient for the answer.

Turn the user’s question into 1–2 focused search queries.
Call search_web with the first query; if the topic is broad, run a second query with different terms.
Read the returned snippets/URLs and pick the most relevant and recent.
Write a short summary with each claim tied to a source (URL or site name).
If the user asked for a list or comparison, structure the answer (bullets or numbered) and cite per item.
If results are conflicting or thin, say so and summarize what you found.

Input: “What’s the latest on Project X release date?”
Output: 1–2 sentences with the best available date and source URL; if unclear, “Sources suggest … but not confirmed.”
Input: “Compare options for doing Y.”
Output: Short comparison (e.g. table or bullets) with pros/cons and a link or citation per option.

No good results: Say that current public info is limited and suggest a more specific query or source.
Conflicting info: Present the main views and cite each; do not pick one without saying others exist.
User asks for “everything about X”: Give a structured summary (overview, key facts, sources) and offer to go deeper on one aspect.
Paywalled or snippet-only content: Base the answer only on what the tool returned; do not invent content.

search_web: Use for all research questions. Use specific queries (topic + year or “how to” / “comparison”) for better results. Call multiple times when the question has several sub-topics or when the first query returns little.
