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.
