research_topic
Conduct comprehensive research by automatically searching multiple engines and sources, then cross-referencing results to validate information and identify key findings with confidence levels.
Instructions
Deep research with multiple searches and source validation.
Use this when:
User wants comprehensive research or briefing
Need to validate information across multiple sources
Looking for in-depth analysis
User asks to "research", "investigate", or "give me a briefing"
This tool runs 2-6 searches automatically using different strategies:
Searches multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Wikipedia)
Searches both general web and news sources
Deduplicates results across all searches
Returns 15-50 UNIQUE sources depending on depth
Perfect for creating comprehensive briefings with validated information.
Parameters: query* - Research topic depth - Research thoroughness: • "quick" - 2 searches, ~15 unique sources • "standard" - 4 searches, ~30 unique sources (recommended) • "deep" - 6 searches, ~50 unique sources
CRITICAL - After receiving sources, you MUST:
Read and analyze ALL sources provided (titles, URLs, content snippets)
Cross-reference claims across multiple sources
Identify facts confirmed by many sources (high confidence)
Note contradictions or single-source claims (lower confidence)
Synthesize findings into a comprehensive briefing with: • Executive summary of key findings • Main facts/developments (note how many sources confirm each) • Contradictions or uncertainties • Source quality assessment (which engines found what)
DO NOT just list the sources - you must analyze, validate, and synthesize them into actionable intelligence
Returns: Research briefing with analyzed, validated, cross-referenced information
