The tool
web_search — one tool, two arguments:
Results come back as a list, each carrying a title, URL, content excerpt, and a
relevance score.
Per-binding configuration
One setting,search_depth:
Set it when you bind the capability to an agent or gateway.
There is no safe-search toggle, language setting, region setting, result-count
setting, or separate news / image / academic mode. The tool schema is the two
arguments above.

Autonomy
Read tier — allowed at every autonomy level.Working with it
- Narrow queries beat broad ones. “PyTorch 2.x release notes” returns something useful; “Python” does not.
- Use
dayswhen recency matters. It is the only recency control there is. - Break a compound question into several searches rather than one long one.
- Pair with Code Runner when you need results parsed or aggregated, and with Browser when you need the full page rather than an excerpt.
