Add exa_search as a built-in tool that provides web search via the Exa API. Supports neural/fast/auto search types, content modes (text, highlights, summary), category filtering, domain filtering, text filtering, and date ranges. Results from external source are sanitized through the existing injection defense pipeline. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
