| What it does | Search the public web for up-to-date facts. Works out of the box with Jina (default, no API key needed); optionally Serper, Tavily, or Brave Search. Use when workbook context is insufficient and fresh external references are needed. | Runs structured multi-agent discussions for open-ended typia topics. Use only when the user explicitly asks for Discussion or a team debate with transcripts and conclusions; do not use for Self-Review, a solo or multi-agent review, research review, or issue discovery. |
