Token Isolation (Critical)
Never run Exa searches in main context. Always spawn Task agents:
- Agent calls
web_search_advanced_exa with category: "financial report"
- Agent merges + deduplicates results before presenting
- Agent returns distilled output (brief markdown or compact JSON)
- Main context stays clean regardless of search volume
