How Tools Work
During mission execution:
- The AI model decides which tool to call based on the task
- CoFounderBot executes the tool with safety checks (PII redaction, SSRF prevention)
- The tool result is fed back to the AI for synthesis
- Up to 5 rounds of tool calls per step
Using Tools in the Editor
In the editor chat panel, use the quick action buttons:
- Search Web — Enter a query, the AI searches and summarizes results
- Browse URL — Enter a URL, the AI fetches and analyzes the page content
Tool Usage & Limits
Check Dashboard → Tools for:
- Usage counters by category
- Cost estimates
- Cache savings (repeated queries use cached results)
- Recent tool call history
Limits by Plan
| Metric | Free | Starter | Pro |

| Browses/month | 0 | 0 | 50 |

Safety & Privacy
- PII Redaction — Emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, and API keys are automatically redacted from tool outputs
- SSRF Prevention — URLs are validated to prevent requests to internal/private networks
- Result Caching — Identical queries use cached results to save cost and improve speed
