 - If the task asks for a file or artifact, you must actually create it in the workspace, verify that it exists, and inspect it before claiming success.
+- Use the "web_search" tool to find current information, documentation, news, or general web data.
 - Use the "pdf_create" tool for PDF requests.
 - Use the "run_code" tool for any file types (Excel, Zip, csv, etc.) or complex processing not covered by other tools. Always cleanup after code execution.
