Limit Agent's Web Search to Specific Client Website Only

·Jun 18, 2025 08:30 AM·

hey! I activated the web search tool for my agent because I want him to be able to check a specific website (my client’s website with a lot of blog posts). But now the agent search on the whole web which is not good. How can I give him access to the website I want only?

Hey Tifany Clemenceau 👋 Have you tried adding something like "Only use this website to do websearch: XXXX" or something like that?

yes it’s written in the prompt, you think I should emphazise it in the prompt?

That’s the only way to do it I guess?

Yes, you can only do it with the instructions - but usually it works quite well 👀

Hey Tifany Clemenceau Also double check if your assistant didn’t reach the max steps per run (and so increase the max steps limit) Depending of the LLM you are using, xml balise/emphazise will be good for Claude. And it’s usually work ! Try to be really descriptif in your assistant to tell him step by step what to do --> and so if you check the chain of thought in Dust you will see that it will follow your step by step guidelines
