Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

Name	Description
openai_web_searchA	OpenAI Web Search with reasoning models. For quick multi-round searches: Use 'gpt-5-mini' with reasoning_effort='low' for fast iterations. For deep research: Use 'gpt-5' with reasoning_effort='medium' or 'high'. The result is already multi-round reasoned, so agents don't need continuous iterations. Supports: gpt-4o (no reasoning), gpt-5/gpt-5-mini/gpt-5-nano, o3/o4-mini (with reasoning).
