Introduction

The Google Web Search Tool allows your AI agent to fetch up-to-date, real-world information directly from the internet by performing live Google searches. This is especially useful when the AI needs access to the latest news, data, or public web content that is not available within the app or form context.

The tool leverages the Google Programmable Search Engine API, enabling controlled, query-based search capabilities from within your agent's logic.
