Search the web using MiniMax AI. Returns results with titles, links, snippets, and related searches.
AI agents call minimax_web_search to retrieve information from My Minimax without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries external web data and returns search results without modifying, executing code, deleting, or causing financial impact. It is a standard read operation with minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as web searches cannot harm systems or data. The severity is low because the blast radius is limited to information retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool performs web search and "Returns results with titles, links, snippets, and related searches" — purely informational retrieval with no side effects.
