         The web-search tool allows you to search the internet for real-time information.
-        It's ideal for:
-        - Finding current information not in your training data
-        - Researching specific topics, events, or entities
-        - Validating facts and claims
-        - Discovering recent developments and news
+        Use this tool when you need to find current information, research topics, or verify facts.
         
-        You can refine searches using:
-        - Date filters (start_published_date, end_published_date) for time-specific content
-        - Text inclusion/exclusion to narrow results to relevant content
-        - Number of results to control search breadth
-        
-        The tool returns organized information including titles, URLs, summaries, and publication dates.
+        The tool returns information including:
+        - Titles of relevant web pages
+        - URLs for accessing the pages
+        - Summaries of page content (if summary=true)
