Token Isolation (Critical)

Never run Exa searches in main context. Always spawn Task agents:

• Agent calls web_search_advanced_exa with category: "tweet"

• Agent merges + deduplicates results before presenting

• Agent returns distilled output (brief markdown or compact JSON)

• Main context stays clean regardless of search volume

When to Use

Use this category when you need:

• Social discussions on a topic

• Product announcements from company accounts

• Developer opinions and experiences

• Trending topics and community sentiment

• Expert takes and threads

Examples

web_search_advanced_exa { "query": "Claude Code MCP experience", "category": "tweet", "startPublishedDate": "2025-01-01", "numResults": 20, "type": "auto", "livecrawl": "preferred" }

Search with specific keywords (put keywords in query, not includeText):

web_search_advanced_exa { "query": "launching announcing new open source release", "category": "tweet", "startPublishedDate": "2025-12-01", "numResults": 15, "type": "auto" }

Developer sentiment (use specific query terms instead of excludeText):

web_search_advanced_exa { "query": "developer experience DX frustrating painful", "category": "tweet", "numResults": 20, "type": "deep", "livecrawl": "preferred" }
