FAQ
Do research skills work without a search MCP server?
They can work from documents you provide, but they shine when the agent can fetch sources itself. Combine a research skill with a search or fetch server from the scenario pages below for a complete setup.
How do I trust the citations an agent produces?
Choose skills that require inline citations tied to fetched URLs, then spot-check. Skills that separate "claims" from "sources" in their output format make verification much faster.
Research skill versus deep-research products?
Dedicated deep-research products are heavier and slower; a research skill runs inside your existing client, costs only your normal model usage, and you can edit the workflow to your needs.
