web-fetch

name	web-fetch
description	Web searching and content fetching. Use Exa MCP tools (web_search_exa, company_research_exa, get_code_context_exa) as the PRIMARY method for web search, company research, and content retrieval. Fall back to agent-browser only when Exa cannot handle the task (e.g., interactive forms, authentication, screenshots, JavaScript-rendered content). Triggers include "search the web", "find information about", "look up", "research this company", "fetch this page", "scrape data from a page", "open a website", or any task requiring web content.
