Web research via platform web tools. Use for technical comparisons, current-state.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Web Research

Answer with current, cited evidence and keep sourced facts apart from your
recommendation. Research questions get web evidence, not answers from memory.

Never put private code, secrets, credentials, or proprietary data into a web
query; answer those from local context and say what that limits.

## Tools

Match the tool to the question with whatever web tools the runtime provides:

- Simple fact: one focused search or answer query.
- Source selection: search, then fetch the best primary sources.
- Broad investigation: a deep or asynchronous research tool when available;
  otherwise chain searches with targeted fetches and note the fallback.
- Detail on a source already found: fetch that URL instead of searching again.

Fetch enough sources to support each claim; fetch every citation only when
the risk or ambiguity justifies it. For source ranking, stale-source signals,
and Pi web tools, read [references/sources.md](references/sources.md).

## Judgment

- Prefer specifications, official docs, maintainer release notes, and primary
  announcements. Treat blogs and forum answers as supporting evidence.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexei-led/cc-thingz/researching-web@sha256:aaabbed7a8ff9065

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.aef806a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
