Web Search Skill

Search the web and fetch pages using the available tools.

Using web_fetch Tool

If the web_fetch tool is available, use it to fetch and read web pages:

web_fetch(url="https://example.com")

Using exec with Python (fallback)

If web_fetch is not available, use Python with requests:

import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(["pip", "install", "-q", "requests", "beautifulsoup4"])

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# Fetch a page
resp = requests.get("https://example.com", timeout=10)
soup = BeautifulSoup(resp.text, 'html.parser')

# Extract text content
text = soup.get_text(separator='\n', strip=True)
print(text[:2000])  # First 2000 chars

Guidelines

• Prefer the web_fetch tool if available — it's faster and cleaner
• When using Python, always install packages first
• Limit output to relevant content — don't dump entire pages
• Summarize long content for the user
• Respect robots.txt and rate limits
