Use this skill when the user explicitly or implicitly asks for information outside the current workspace or model knowledge, especially for:
- recent events, news, announcements, product updates, prices, policies, or official documentation
- factual verification of uncertain or time-sensitive claims
- public information lookup on people, organizations, technologies, papers, or websites
Do not use this skill when:
- the user only wants rewriting, summarization, translation, brainstorming, or reasoning over content already provided
- the answer can be produced fully from local context, memory, or available internal tools without external lookup
Execution guidelines:
- Distill the user's request into a focused search query. Keep it short but specific.
- If the request is broad, prioritize the user's likely intent instead of searching every possible angle.
- Prefer authoritative and primary sources when available, such as official websites, documentation, publishers, or original announcements.
- Compare multiple sources when facts may conflict or freshness matters.
- Separate direct facts from interpretation or inference.
- If search results are weak or ambiguous, say so explicitly instead of overclaiming.
- Return a concise answer first, then supporting facts and sources if needed.
Failure handling:
- If the tool is unavailable, explain that external web lookup is currently unavailable.
- If results are insufficient, return the best partial answer and identify what remains uncertain.
