error performing web search. Status: {status:?} Body: {body}

Error message

error performing web search.
Status: {status:?}
Body: {body}

What it means

Sentinel error raised in perform_web_search after the authenticated LLM API request returns a non-success HTTP status; it wraps the raw status code and response body so callers can see why the backend rejected the search request (auth failure, bad organization id, upstream outage, malformed request).

Solutions

1. Inspect the Status field: 401/403 indicate an expired or invalid llm_api_token, re-authenticate before retrying
2. 404/422 usually mean an invalid organization_id or unsupported endpoint; verify the organization id and request payload
3. 5xx errors are transient server-side failures; retry with backoff
4. Check the Body field for provider-specific error messages with actionable details
