Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| web_searchA | Search the web and return real result links (title, URL, snippet), parsed locally from a search engine's HTML endpoint via a direct, bot-bypassing fetch. Returns LINKS, not summaries — follow up with web_fetch to read a result's full content. Returns the full first page of results (~10); a search fetches one page, so refine the query rather than expecting deep pagination. WORKFLOW: web_search to find pages, then web_fetch to read them. |
| web_fetchA | Fetch ANY web page directly and return its FULL content as clean Markdown (not a summary). Uses browser-like headers to get past common bot filters that block naive/robots-respecting clients (e.g. 403/202 to non-browser clients). Requests go straight to the target site; HTML is converted to Markdown locally (no third-party proxy/reader). Content is found by selecting the page's main content region and pruning navigation rails, so surrounding chrome is left out without ever risking the article. mode='article' (default) returns that region; mode='full' keeps the whole page body; mode='raw' returns unconverted HTML. Does NOT solve full JS/Cloudflare challenge pages or CAPTCHAs. |
