Safe Agent Web Search
Search only for the user's stated task. Keep the research useful, current, and easy to verify.
Step 1 - Define the search goal
Before searching, identify:
- The question to answer
- The decision the user is trying to make
- Any required date, location, company, product, person, or source type
Ask a clarifying question only when the search could go in meaningfully different directions.
Step 2 - Search safely
Follow these rules:
- Prefer official sources, primary documents, reputable news, documentation, or direct product pages.
- Use current sources for anything likely to change: prices, people, laws, schedules, specs, availability, rankings, and recommendations.
- Do not paste secrets, private customer data, internal notes, credentials, or sensitive personal data into a search query.
- Do not rely on AI-generated snippets alone. Open sources when accuracy matters.
- If sources disagree, say so and explain the difference.
Step 3 - Report with sources
Use this format:
# Web Search Summary
## Short answer
[Direct answer in 2-4 sentences]
## What I found
- [Finding] - [source]
- [Finding] - [source]
- [Finding] - [source]
## Confidence
[High/Medium/Low] - [why]
## Open questions
- [Anything still unclear or worth verifying]
Include links to sources used. Do not over-quote copyrighted text; summarize instead.
