Gormes

Web Tools

Understand web search, extraction, backend routing, and cost boundaries.

Web Tools

Gormes exposes web tools through the tool registry, including search and extraction surfaces. Backend availability depends on configured credentials and local fallbacks.

Operator rules:

  • Use free fallback search only when no API-backed search provider is configured.
  • Use API-backed search/extract providers when credentials exist and cost is acceptable.
  • Use browser/CDP paths when a dynamic site or blocked scraper needs an actual browser.
  • Treat “opened page” without extracted useful content as a weak result that needs better routing.

Docs should show the active backend, what each backend can do, whether it costs money, and what fallback happens when extraction fails.
