+The native adapter sends `tools: [{"type":"web_search"}]` and
+`include: ["web_search_call.action.sources"]`; it parses only bounded
+`url_citation` annotations and web-search `sources` URLs. `OPENAI_API_KEY` is
+used for this adapter (the generic `AI_RESEARCH_PROVIDER_API_KEY` remains
+supported as a compatibility override). Anthropic/Google retain the generic
+approved-provider request/response contract and use `AI_RESEARCH_PROVIDER_API_KEY`.
+Requests have an 8-second timeout, 64 KiB response limit, 8 KiB criteria limit,
+and 50-target maximum. Missing credentials, unapproved providers, unsafe
+endpoints, malformed responses, prompt-injection-shaped criteria, and unsafe
+URLs fail closed. Provider status reports readiness metadata only and never
+returns API keys.
+
 
 All protected endpoints require the server-side session cookie. Every query is constrained by the authenticated user's `organization_id`; IDs from another tenant behave as not found and must not disclose whether a record exists.
