-**Highlights mode (optional)**

-Use the \`highlightQuery\` parameter to get semantically relevant excerpts instead of paginated text:
-- Pass a natural language query describing what you're looking for
-- Returns the most relevant snippets from the page (uses Exa's semantic highlighting)
-- Great for quickly checking if a URL contains relevant information before reading more

-**When to use highlights vs pagination:**
-- Use \`highlightQuery\` when scanning multiple URLs for relevance or extracting specific facts
-- Use pagination (lineOffset/lineLimit) when you need to read complete sections in order or need to verify highlights.

 <pagination-example>
 1. Fetch start of the page
 <tool-input name="fetchUrls">
 {
-  "url": "https://example.com/article",
-  "lineLimit": 40
+  "requests": [
+    {
+      "url": "https://example.com/article",
+      "lineLimit": 40
+    }
+  ]
 }
 </tool-input>
 
 2. Fetch more content without re-fetching the start again.
 <tool-input name="fetchUrls">
 {
-  "url": "https://example.com/article",
-  "lineOffset": 40,
-  "lineLimit": 40

+    }
+  ]
 }

 3. Fetch the next chunk without fetching the previous parts.
