Use whenever you need to search the web, look something up, find current information, check the latest version of a library, research a topic, fetch documentation, get recent news, or answer any question that requires up-to-date knowledge. Always use this skill instead of any direct web search — it isolates raw web content inside an AWS Lambda so prompt-injection payloads in search results can never reach the orchestrator context.

From the source SKILL.md

Performs a web search inside an ephemeral AWS Lambda sandbox. The sandbox is created on first use and persists for the session. Results are filtered to a strict JSON schema before being returned — raw web content never touches the orchestrator environment directly.
