#' Claude web search tool
#'
#' @description
#' Enables Claude to search the web for up-to-date information. Your organization
#' administrator must enable web search in the Anthropic Console before using
#' this tool, as it costs extra ($10 per 1,000 tokens at time of writing).
#'
#' Learn more in <https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/web-search-tool>.
#'
#' @param max_uses Integer. Maximum number of searches allowed per request.
#' @param allowed_domains Character vector. Restrict searches to specific domains
#'   (e.g., `c("nytimes.com", "bbc.com")`). Cannot be used with `blocked_domains`.
#' @param blocked_domains Character vector. Exclude specific domains from searches.
#'   Cannot be used with `allowed_domains`.
#' @param user_location List with optional elements: `country` (2-letter code),
#'   `city`, `region`, and `timezone` (IANA timezone) to localize search results.

#'
#' @description
#' Enables Claude to fetch and analyze content from web URLs. Claude can only

#' construct URLs to fetch.
#'
#' Requires the `web-fetch-2025-09-10` beta header.
#' Learn more in <https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/web-fetch-tool>.
#'
#' @param max_uses Integer. Maximum number of fetches allowed per request.
#' @param allowed_domains Character vector. Restrict fetches to specific domains.
#'   Cannot be used with `blocked_domains`.
#' @param blocked_domains Character vector. Exclude specific domains from fetches.
#'   Cannot be used with `allowed_domains`.
#' @param citations Logical. Whether to include citations in the response. Default is `TRUE`.
#' @param max_content_tokens Integer. Maximum number of tokens to fetch from each URL.
