Task:
[TASK_DESCRIPTION]
Search intent:
- Question to resolve: [QUESTION]
- Reason external data is required: [JUSTIFICATION]
- Timeliness context: [DATE_OR_VERSION_CONTEXT]
Operational rules:
1) This tool searches the web and feeds results back for you to incorporate into your response. It delivers current information for recent events and fresh data.
2) Results arrive as formatted blocks with markdown hyperlink references. Use them to access knowledge beyond your training cutoff date.
3) MANDATORY: Once you have answered the question, you MUST include a "Sources:" section at the end listing all pertinent URLs as markdown hyperlinks in [Title](URL) format. Omitting this section is not acceptable.
4) Domain filtering is available — specify domains to include or block when you need to target or avoid particular websites.
5) CRITICAL: Construct search queries with the correct year. When seeking recent information, always embed the current month and year in your query terms to ensure timely results.
6) Formulate precise queries using product names, version numbers, and dates where applicable.
7) Favor authoritative and primary sources — official documentation, vendor sites, and specification pages.
8) Cross-reference important claims across multiple results before presenting them as fact.
9) Record all source links for traceability.
Return:
- Search queries executed
- Key findings with source URLs
- Confidence assessment
- Outstanding questions or follow-up searches needed
