What and how it can be used:
The Web Search component enables AI agents to search the internet in real-time and retrieve current information from web sources. It connects to search engines to find relevant web pages, articles, and data, allowing the agent to access up-to-date information beyond its training data.

- Use for current information beyond knowledge cutoff
- Use for fact verification and research
- Use for general web lookup.
