Web Research
Use this skill when the user asks for research, comparisons, background knowledge, or external references.
Workflow
- Use
web_search to find promising sources.
- Fetch the most relevant pages with
web_fetch.
- Compare sources instead of relying on one page when the question is important.
- Extract concrete facts, constraints, and open questions.
- If the task needs images or creative references, consider
run_expert with SearchAgent.
Guardrails
- Prefer specific and recent sources when the topic changes quickly.
- Distinguish between confirmed facts and your own inference.
- If web access is blocked or the API key is missing, say so and fall back to local reasoning.
