Web Research

Rules

Honor user constraints, including no-write/chat-only requests. Discover available retrieval capabilities; do not assume tool names.
Prefer primary sources and read answer-critical content. Search snippets and generated summaries are discovery aids, not sufficient evidence.
For dependency claims, establish installed/targeted versions and runtime/integration boundaries. Prefer version-matched source over conflicting live documentation.
For signatures, hashing, serialization, canonicalization, authentication, or wire protocols, require an independent official implementation, test vector, or interoperability check; self-consistent round trips are insufficient.
Cite URLs, separate observation from inference, and state uncertainty. Never store secrets, credentials, private sessions, or sensitive source content.
