Search API shaped for agents: results plus a short synthesised answer.

Deep research with many sources — the result count and depth are deliberately modest
A search endpoint designed for tool calls: it returns ranked results with extracted content and an optional synthesised answer, tuned to be small enough to fit in context. That makes it a natural MCP-style tool for an agent, and a poor substitute for a research workflow that needs to read twenty sources.
