Search Current Events
search_current_events
Answer questions about recent news, current events, breaking developments, or fast-moving topics using Perplexity Sonar Pro with live web search. Use this when freshness matters or the question is about the outside world beyond Foundations. IMPORTANT: when the Foundations knowledge base tool is available, use this in parallel with search_knowledge_base and never as the only research source. Do not use this for Foundations policies, member data, or Slack discussion history when the structured internal tools are a better fit.
The news or current-events question to answer, such as 'What happened with Figma this week?'
Optional recency filter when the user explicitly wants breaking news or a defined recent time window
