From f7ab811d93f2efc43a6f50d02c039926d2678aab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ajay Krishnan Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 14:09:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] snippets: prefer context-web-search over built-in Exa websearch The built-in OpenCode 'websearch' tool routes through Exa AI's hosted MCP service and surfaces with tool names like parallel_web_search and web_search_exa. Without explicit guidance the model picks per turn between Exa and our SearXNG-backed context-web-search. Tell agents to prefer Context Kit's local search so queries stay on the user's machine through SearXNG. --- snippets/AGENTS.md | 7 +++++-- snippets/CLAUDE.md | 7 +++++-- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/snippets/AGENTS.md b/snippets/AGENTS.md index f718717..9ba96d6 100644 --- a/snippets/AGENTS.md +++ b/snippets/AGENTS.md @@ -5,8 +5,11 @@ or broad repository context. - Use `context-docs` / `docs_query` before guessing API details for indexed platforms and libraries. -- Use `context-web-search` / `search_web` for current web research, then fetch - specific pages before relying on them. +- Prefer `context-web-search` / `search_web` for current web research over the + built-in `websearch` tool and any Exa-hosted variants such as + `parallel_web_search` or `web_search_exa`.
