Research evidence

How Deep Research's researchers record what they found, so every sentence of a report can be traced to a passage.

Tool	What it does
`record_note`	Records one finding: the claim in the researcher's words, the source's exact supporting passage, and the source ids.
`record_source`	Registers an internal document found with `search_knowledge` as a source, so a note can cite it.

`record_note`

Records one finding: the claim in the researcher's words, the source's exact supporting passage, and the source ids.

How an agent gets it. Declared by the hidden research-worker only; used inside Deep Research runs.

A note whose passage is not in the cited source is refused.
primary_source_ids marks which sources produced the fact — this feeds the computed confidence.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Required	Meaning
`claim`	string	yes
`passage`	string	yes
`source_ids`	array of string	yes
`locator`	string
`primary_source_ids`	array of string		Which cited sources are PRIMARY for this fact: the organisation that produced the data or made the decision (a statistics office, the company, the regulator, the study's authors) — not an outlet repeating it.

Registers an internal document found with search_knowledge as a source, so a note can cite it. Web pages need no call — web_fetch records them.

How an agent gets it. Declared by the hidden research-worker only; used inside Deep Research runs.
