Web Search Advanced - Tweet Category

Tool Restriction (Critical)

ONLY use web_search_advanced_exa with category: "tweet". Do NOT use other categories or tools.

Filter Restrictions (Critical)

The tweet category has LIMITED filter support. The following parameters are NOT supported and will cause 400 errors:

• includeText - NOT SUPPORTED
• excludeText - NOT SUPPORTED
• includeDomains - NOT SUPPORTED
• excludeDomains - NOT SUPPORTED
• moderation - NOT SUPPORTED (causes 500 server error)

Supported Parameters

Core

• query (required)
• numResults
• type ("auto", "fast", "deep", "neural")

Date filtering (ISO 8601) - Use these instead of text filters!

• startPublishedDate / endPublishedDate
• startCrawlDate / endCrawlDate

Content extraction

• textMaxCharacters / contextMaxCharacters
• enableHighlights / highlightsNumSentences / highlightsPerUrl / highlightsQuery
• enableSummary / summaryQuery

Additional

• additionalQueries - useful for hashtag variations
• livecrawl / livecrawlTimeout - use "preferred" for recent tweets

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

  "category": "tweet",
  "startPublishedDate": "2025-01-01",
  "numResults": 20,
  "type": "auto",
  "livecrawl": "preferred"
}

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

  "category": "tweet",
  "startPublishedDate": "2025-12-01",
  "numResults": 15,

  "type": "deep",
  "livecrawl": "preferred"
}

1. Results (tweet content, author handle, date, engagement if visible)
