My biggest question is on backward compatibility -- can we ensure there are no model-visible changes without explicitly choosing the new mode?

Summary
web_search = "indexed"alongsidedisabled,cached, andlive.index_gated_web_access: truewith external web access enabled only whenindexedis selected.cachedmaps tofalseandlivetotrue) and send"indexed"only forindexed;disabledkeeps the tool unavailable.Why
Indexed search provides a middle ground between cached-only search and unrestricted live page fetching. Search queries can remain live while direct page fetches are limited to URLs admitted by the server.
The existing
web_searchsetting remains the single source of truth, so hosted and standalone executors cannot drift into different access modes. Without an explicitindexedselection, the existing model-visible tool and request shapes are unchanged.Validation
