Purpose: Perform web searches and return LLM-friendly results, including excerpts that are usually sufficient to answer directly without a follow-up fetch. Ideal Use Cases: - Answering questions that require fresh or current information - Research, comparison, documentation, and troubleshooting questions - Broad tasks where multiple `search_queries` can be issued in a single call

Purpose: Fetch and extract relevant content from specific web URLs. Use only when web_search excerpts are insufficient for the task at hand. Ideal Use Cases: - The user asked about a specific URL or page - You need exact wording or quotes that excerpts may have truncated - You need full-page analysis (long article, document, or page structure) - web_search excerpts are conflicting or clearly insufficient to answer
