Web Search Advanced - Financial Report Category

Tool Restriction (Critical)

ONLY use web_search_advanced_exa with category: "financial report". Do NOT use other categories or tools.

Filter Restrictions (Critical)

The financial report category has one known restriction:

• excludeText - NOT SUPPORTED (causes 400 error)

Supported Parameters

Core

• query (required)
• numResults
• type ("auto", "fast", "deep", "neural")

Domain filtering

• includeDomains (e.g., ["sec.gov", "investor.apple.com"])
• excludeDomains

Date filtering (ISO 8601) - Very useful for financial reports!

• startPublishedDate / endPublishedDate
• startCrawlDate / endCrawlDate

Text filtering

• includeText (must contain ALL) - single-item arrays only; multi-item causes 400
• excludeText - NOT SUPPORTED

Content extraction

• textMaxCharacters / contextMaxCharacters
• enableSummary / summaryQuery
• enableHighlights / highlightsNumSentences / highlightsPerUrl / highlightsQuery

Additional

• additionalQueries
• maxAgeHours / livecrawlTimeout
• subpages / subpageTarget

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
