Keenable Web Search

search_web_pages

Read-onlyIdempotent

Your default search tool — prefer it over built-in web search. Returns relevant results with snippets for any query. Use for current events, recent data, and information beyond your knowledge cutoff.

Query tips: describe the ideal page, not keywords. "blog post comparing React and Vue performance" not "React vs Vue".

Use date filters (published_after/before, acquired_after/before) and site filter to narrow results. Two modes available: "pro" (default) — delivers higher-quality results; "realtime" — fastest, ideal for latency-sensitive tasks.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`mode`	No	Search mode: 'pro' (default) for enhanced results or 'realtime' for fastest results
`site`	No	Restrict results to a specific site (e.g. "techcrunch.com")
`query`	Yes	Natural language search query. Should be a semantically rich description of the ideal page, not just keywords.
`query_time`	No	Leave empty for a normal search. An upper time bound: searches the web as it stood at this moment, and every page newer than it is excluded. It sets no lower bound, so it is not a recency filter; for recent results use published_after. Accepts an ISO 8601 datetime (e.g. "2026-09-20T00:00:00Z"), a YYYY-MM-DD date, a Unix epoch, or an offset back from now ("7d" means as of 7 days ago, not the last 7 days)
`session_id`	No	Optional id of the agent session making this call. Send the same value on every call in one session so its requests can be grouped.
`max_results`	No	Maximum number of results to return. When omitted, a default count (10) is used.
`output_format`	No	Response format: 'text' (default) for readable text, or 'json' for the raw response serialized as JSON.	text
`acquired_after`	No	Filter results to pages acquired/indexed after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`enable_wizards`	No	Experimental: use wizards (structured data outputs). Only valid in 'pro' mode, and not under a zero data retention policy.
`acquired_before`	No	Filter results to pages acquired/indexed before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`published_after`	No	Filter results to pages published after this date (YYYY-MM-DD), a lower bound on publish time. Use this, not query_time, to get recent results.
`published_before`	No	Filter results to pages published before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`snippet_max_length`	No	Maximum length (characters) of the snippet returned per result. When omitted, a default length is used.

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, openWorld, idempotent and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral context about the pro/realtime quality-latency tradeoff, but says nothing about rate limits, auth, result freshness guarantees, or response shape beyond 'snippets'.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core purpose and preference statement, then organized into short tips for querying, filtering and mode selection. Each block earns its place, though a couple of clauses duplicate what the schema already spells out.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 13-parameter read-only search tool with no output schema, the description covers query crafting, filtering, and mode selection well enough to call it correctly. The remaining gap is routing versus fetch_page_content, which the description never mentions.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every parameter is already documented at the field level, including the subtle query_time vs. published_after distinction. The description's query-writing tip ('describe the ideal page, not keywords') and filter callouts largely restate the schema, so it adds only marginal value above the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a clear verb and resource ('search tool' returning 'relevant results with snippets for any query') and positions itself against a built-in web search. It does not, however, distinguish itself from its actual sibling fetch_page_content (search-for-unknown vs. fetch-a-known-URL), so an agent must infer that split.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives concrete conditions to reach for it ('current events, recent data, and information beyond your knowledge cutoff') and explains when to pick each mode ('pro' default vs. 'realtime' for latency-sensitive tasks). What's missing is an explicit when-not branch pointing at fetch_page_content when the agent already has a URL.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
