## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `research.answer`: Answers one open research question from the live web in at most 80 words with up to 3 source URLs, returned as \{answer, sources\}, usually in 4 to 9 seconds. Use it for a synthesized answer; use web.search for raw links or research.factcheck to verify a claim. Name the people, places and dates the qu
- `research.factcheck`: Checks one factual claim against the live web and returns \{verdict, explanation, sources\}, where verdict is supported, contradicted or unclear, usually in 4 to 9 seconds. Write the claim as a plain statement such as 'The Eiffel Tower is in Berlin' and split a compound claim into separate calls. Use
- `page.summarize`: Condenses one public web page into an 80-word summary with up to 4 key points, returned as \{url, summary, key\_points\}, usually in 3 to 6 seconds. The page is fetched live, so the summary reflects it now; pages behind a login or paywall may return little. Pass the address of the specific page, not a
- `web.search`: Runs a web search and returns ranked results as \{query, results: \[\{title, url, snippet\}\]\}. Use it for raw links to read yourself; use research.answer for a written answer. Plain phrases work as well as keywords; since and until \(YYYY-MM-DD\) limit results to a publish-date range, which suits recent n
- `page.extract`: Returns the main text of one public web page as clean markdown, unchanged and not summarized, up to 8,000 characters, as \{url, markdown, truncated\}, usually in 2 to 5 seconds. Pass the address of the specific page, not a site's home page; pages that need a login cannot be read, and longer pages are
- `web.news`: Returns recent news on one topic, person, company or event as \{query, window\_days, summary, developments: \[\{headline, date, source\}\]\}: a summary of about 50 words and up to 4 dated developments, newest first, usually in 3 to 7 seconds. A short topic or name works better than a full question; days se
- `research.market`: Builds an evidence brief for a prediction-market question \(Kalshi, Polymarket or similar\) from the live web: \{question, as\_of, summary, evidence\_for, evidence\_against, key\_dates, resolution\_notes, sources\}, usually in 5 to 8 seconds. Pass the question as the market words it, including its date or th
- `research.company`: Returns a short sourced brief on one company as \{company, summary, what\_it\_does, facts, recent, sources\}, usually in 5 to 8 seconds. Pass a website address such as stripe.com to avoid name clashes; a bare name resolves to the best-known company with that name and the summary says when the name is am
