Using @Web vs "Web Search Tool" setting on

I see the “Web Search Tool” setting, “Allow agent to search the web for relevant information”. If this is on, is their any point in using “@Web” in a prompt? Does that setting effectively always include “@Web” in prompts?

Hey, in principle, this feature is not needed if you have the internet search option enabled. You can simply ask the agent to perform a search, and it will do it. However, this feature was originally created as an assistant for the agent to independently find up-to-date information on the internet.

Regarding the @web function, it will forcibly trigger the search tool when you need to search for something specific.
