Web research, fact-checking, and item comparison are fundamentally retrieval operations with no side effects. The tool queries external data sources but does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. While it could theoretically be used to research sensitive topics, the tool itself has no capability to act on that information beyond returning results.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'web_research' with description stating 'Search the web, fact-check claims, compare items, or conduct deep research.' These are all read-only operations that retrieve information without modifying external systems.
