web-search

Installation
Summary

Web search using the agent's built-in WebSearch tool, no API key required.

  • Accepts simple query strings and returns relevant web results; best for current information, recent events, fact verification, and real-time research
  • Effective queries benefit from specificity, year inclusion for recency, and domain-specific terminology; iterative refinement recommended for broad or multi-perspective searches
  • Results cannot access paywalled content and depend on the agent's WebSearch implementation; for advanced filtering and relevance scoring, use the web-search-tavily skill instead
  • Always cite sources with URLs and cross-reference claims across multiple results, especially for time-sensitive information
