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
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modeNoSearch mode: 'pro' (default) for enhanced results or 'realtime' for fastest results
siteNoRestrict results to a specific site (e.g. "techcrunch.com")
queryYesNatural language search query. Should be a semantically rich description of the ideal page, not just keywords.
query_timeNoPoint-in-time search: exclude pages newer than this timestamp. Accepts an ISO 8601 datetime (e.g. "2026-09-20T00:00:00Z"), a YYYY-MM-DD date, a Unix epoch, or a relative offset back from now (e.g. "7d", "2w", "30min")
session_idNoOptional 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_resultsNoMaximum number of results to return. When omitted, a default count (10) is used.
enableWizardsNoExperimental: use wizards (structured data outputs). Only valid in 'pro' mode.
output_formatNoResponse format: 'text' (default) for readable text, or 'json' for the raw response serialized as JSON.text
acquired_afterNoFilter results to pages acquired/indexed after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
acquired_beforeNoFilter results to pages acquired/indexed before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
published_afterNoFilter results to pages published after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
published_beforeNoFilter results to pages published before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
snippet_max_lengthNoMaximum length (characters) of the snippet returned per result. When omitted, a default length is used.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds mode behavior ('pro' delivers higher-quality results, 'realtime' fastest/lowest latency) which is genuinely beyond annotations, though it doesn't discuss result freshness, rate limits, or snippet defaults.

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-loads the primary positioning and usage before moving to query tips and mode descriptions. Slightly longer than strictly necessary but every section (positioning, query guidance, filters, modes) carries distinct value without repetition.

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?

Covers purpose, usage context, query formulation, filters, and modes for a 13-parameter search tool with no output schema. Missing only edge details like default snippet lengths and pagination, but the annotations already carry safety and the schema covers parameters, so the description is essentially complete for correct invocation.

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 in the schema. The description reinforces query style and mode selection but adds no syntax or format details beyond what the schema provides, making the baseline of 3 appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb+resource (web page search returning snippets) and positions itself as the default search tool preferred over built-in web search. It names the sibling fetch_page_content's role implicitly by contrasting search vs. content retrieval, and clearly differentiates by declaring itself the default.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly says 'prefer it over built-in web search' and lists when to use it (current events, recent data, beyond knowledge cutoff). Query formulation guidance distinguishes semantic description from keywords with a concrete example, and mode selection is spelled out.

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