Key points

• id: web-search-perplexity
• Citation-fallback sources are URL-only — when Perplexity omits structured search_results[], sources carry no title/snippet/publishedAt, so the tool renders bare hostname labels.
• Over-returned sources still cost tokens and latency — with no result-count control on the wire, maxResults is enforced only post-hoc by seam truncation.

Pitfalls

Review the upstream repo before installing. This guide is auto-derived from indexed fields and may lag the latest release. If anything contradicts the official docs, treat the upstream source as authoritative.
