Web Search
Use the web_search and web_fetch tools to find current information.
When to use
- User asks about current events, news, or recent information
- User needs real-time data (weather, stock prices, sports scores)
- User asks "what is X" and you're not confident in your training data
- User asks you to look something up
How to use
- Use
web_search with a clear, specific query
- Review the results and summarize the most relevant information
- If you need more detail from a specific result, use
web_fetch with its URL
- Always cite your sources with URLs when providing web-sourced information
Tips
- Be specific in queries: "Flutter 3.x release date 2026" not just "Flutter"
- If first search doesn't help, try rephrasing
- Combine multiple searches for complex questions
- Use
web_fetch to get the full content of a promising search result
