When to Use

Any request that needs current or external information: facts, prices, news, product comparisons, documentation.

Procedure

1. Restate the question and note what a complete answer needs (entities, dates, numbers) in working_memory.
2. web_search with 2-3 differently-phrased queries (include the user's language AND English for technical topics).
3. Pick the most authoritative results (official sites, primary sources, reputable media); open them with web_fetch. If the page is empty, JavaScript-heavy, or needs interaction, use browser navigate instead.
4. Extract the specific facts; record each with its URL and date in working_memory facts.
5. Cross-check every important claim against a second independent source. Note disagreements.
6. Answer concisely in the user's language; cite sources as a list of URLs; state uncertainty and dates.

Pitfalls

• Search snippets are often outdated or truncated - always open the page before quoting numbers.
• DuckDuckGo may rate-limit; fall back to browser with https://duckduckgo.com/?q=... or https://www.bing.com/search?q=...
• Prices and availability vary by region; say which region/currency the source uses.

Verification

Every number or claim in the answer maps to a fetched source in working_memory.
