Web Search
When to Use
- Use when a Pi Agent task needs current web information, page fetches, PDFs, YouTube, or GitHub content.
- Use when Pi should use its own web-access package instead of another agent browser tool.
The pi-web-access package is installed globally. Zero-config via Exa MCP (no API key), with fallback Exa → Perplexity → Gemini.
CRITICAL: always pass workflow: "none"
Every web_search call MUST include workflow: "none". This skips the interactive browser curator popup (the user does not want it opening). No exceptions — single query or batched queries, always set workflow: "none".
web_search({ queries: ["query 1", "query 2"], workflow: "none" })Tools
web_search— search the web; returns synthesized answers with citations. Can be called many times per turn. Always passworkflow: "none".code_search— zero-key Exa code-context. Use for library/API/code lookups instead of genericweb_search.fetch_content— fetch URL(s) → markdown; handles PDFs, YouTube, GitHub.get_search_content— big pages (>30k chars) are truncated in responses but stored in full; call this to pull the rest on demand so they don't blow context.
fetch_content specifics
- GitHub URLs are cloned, not scraped — you get real files + a local path to explore with
read/bash(private repos need theghCLI). Use this for dev
