Agent Web Search Setup

A model backend that cannot search is not the same as a model that searched and found nothing, but from inside the conversation the two look identical. This skill turns the first into the second, on whichever agent is in front of you. It configures the agent's tools; it is not itself a search engine, so nothing here answers a query directly — the proof of done is the agent's own session calling a real tool.

What actually breaks

Anthropic's web_search and web_fetch are server tools: the API runs them during the request and splices results into the same response. OpenAI's Responses API web_search works the same way. The client only ever declares the tool.
