Web Search Skill
Search the web and fetch pages using the available tools.
Using web_fetch Tool
If the web_fetch tool is available, use it to fetch and read web pages:
web_fetch(url="https://example.com")
Using exec with Python (fallback)
If web_fetch is not available, use Python with requests:
import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(["pip", "install", "-q", "requests", "beautifulsoup4"])
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Fetch a page
resp = requests.get("https://example.com", timeout=10)
soup = BeautifulSoup(resp.text, 'html.parser')
# Extract text content
text = soup.get_text(separator='\n', strip=True)
print(text[:2000]) # First 2000 chars
Guidelines
- Prefer the
web_fetchtool if available — it's faster and cleaner - When using Python, always install packages first
- Limit output to relevant content — don't dump entire pages
- Summarize long content for the user
- Respect robots.txt and rate limits
