The user receives real-time search results from multiple social media platforms and news sources, enabling quick information gathering without leaving the terminal.
The agent uses the API Direct MCP server to execute search queries across supported platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, and news aggregators. Before acting, the agent should verify the user's intent to ensure the query is specific enough to yield relevant results. The agent constructs the appropriate tool call based on the platform mentioned (e.g., 'Search LinkedIn for posts about AI agents') and returns the structured results to the user.
