Simplified the main system prompt's web research section to just direct
users to the research tool. Moved the detailed WebDriver usage instructions
to scout.md where they belong, since the scout agent is the one that
actually uses WebDriver for research.
Main prompt now simply says: use the research tool for web research.
Scout agent now has the full WebDriver best practices documentation.
New tool that spawns a scout agent to perform web research and return
a structured research brief. The scout agent uses webdriver to browse
the web and returns a decision-ready report.
Changes:
- Added 'research' tool definition (12 core tools total)
- Added research tool dispatch in tool_dispatch.rs
- Created tools/research.rs implementation:
- Spawns 'g3 --agent scout <query>' as subprocess
- Captures stdout and extracts last line (report file path)
- Reads and returns the report file contents
- Added exclude_research flag to ToolConfig
- Scout agent (agent_name == 'scout') does NOT have access to research
tool to prevent infinite recursion
- Updated system prompts to describe when to use research tool
- Added scout.md agent prompt with research brief output contract
The research tool is preferred for complex research tasks (APIs, SDKs,
libraries, approaches, bugs). WebDriver can still be used directly for
simple lookups or fine-grained control.
