Search Internet

search_internet

Search the internet using a meta-search engine. Get results from multiple sources with deduplication and configurable speed, balanced, or quality modes.

Instructions

Search the internet using SearxNG meta-search engine. Returns search results with title, URL, snippet, source engine, and score. Supports speed, balanced, and quality modes. Deduplicates by URL and limits same-domain results to 2. Filters low-trust domains when website-weight-config.json is present.

Behavior4/5

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

Despite no annotations, the description discloses deduplication, same-domain limiting, conditional filtering of low-trust domains, and three search modes (speed, balanced, quality), providing reasonable insight into behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is three concise sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, then expanding on return format, modes, and filtering. No unnecessary words.

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?

Given no output schema or annotations, the description covers return fields, deduplication, domain limits, and modes. Lacks error handling and mode effects detail, but is largely complete for a search tool.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all parameters. The tool description adds no new parameter-level meaning but mentions deduplication and domain limits as behavioral context beyond schema.

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?

The description clearly defines the tool as searching the internet via SearxNG, listing returned fields (title, URL, snippet, source engine, score) and distinguishing it from siblings like fetch_page or get_search_suggestions.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use or not use this tool versus siblings (execute_python, fetch_page, get_search_suggestions). The description lacks context for appropriate usage scenarios.

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