# Web Search

## What the Agent Can Do

* Search the web for known issues, error messages, and documentation
* Find Stack Overflow solutions, GitHub Issues, and community fixes
* Look up unfamiliar error codes or library-specific problems

## When Is This Useful?

During incident investigation, the agent may encounter an unfamiliar error message. With Web Search enabled, it can automatically look up the error to find known fixes — the same way an engineer would search Stack Overflow or GitHub.

## Setup Instructions

1. Go to <https://api.search.brave.com/>
2. Sign up for a free account (1,000 requests/month free)
3. Create an API key under **API Keys**
4. Copy the API key into the Pagerly dashboard
