Best Practices

最佳实践

  • Always cite sources — include URLs for claims
  • Cross-reference — verify important facts from 2+ independent sources
  • Check recency — web search results may be stale; filter by date when currency matters
  • Respect rate limits — don't fire all tools in parallel; sequence appropriately
  • Prefer lighter tools first — web-search before deep-research, extractContent before stealthBrowse
  • Academic rigor — for scientific claims, always check
    researchAcademic
    for peer-reviewed sources
  • 始终引用来源 —— 为主张添加URL
  • 交叉验证 —— 重要事实需从2个及以上独立来源验证
  • 检查时效性 —— 网页搜索结果可能过时;当时效性很重要时,按日期筛选
  • 遵守速率限制 —— 不要并行调用所有工具;合理安排调用顺序
  • 优先使用轻量工具 —— 先使用网页搜索,再进行深度研究;先使用extractContent,再使用stealthBrowse
  • 学术严谨性 —— 对于科学主张,务必通过
