This is keyword search, not semantic search: queries only match literal words/tokens, prefixes, or exact quoted terms that appear in the indexed title/name. Use this for targeted name/title lookup, not for activity-summary questions like "what happened today", "what's going on", "catch me up", or "what happened in standup today"; those should start with ListEntities using time/type/channel filters. For emails, whitespace-separated terms are ANDed and each is a prefix match against the subject. For all other types the whole query is matched as a single adjacent phrase prefix — so pass 1-3 targeted keywords drawn from words that would literally appear in the title, not the user's natural-language description; long phrases will not match. Matching defaults to prefix; set matchType to 'exact' to match whole tokens/phrases with no prefix expansion. Wrap a multi-word phrase in double quotes to keep it together as one adjacent phrase. If the user's request combines a person with a topic, run separate searches (NameSearch for the person, ContentSearch for the topic) rather than one combined query. Leave entityTypes empty by default; only filter when the user explicitly scopes to a type. Results for documents, emails, AI chats, projects, and call records include the tags visible to the user as {label, scope} pairs; to restrict a search to tagged items, pass the tag labels in the tags argument (ListTags shows which tags exist). # NameSearch Search items by their name or title: document name, email subject, chat title, channel name, project name, or call-record name.

Pass 1-3 keywords drawn from words that would literally appear in the title, not the user's natural-language description. Whitespace-separated terms are ANDed. For non-email types the whole query is matched as a single adjacent phrase prefix, so long phrases will not match. For emails each term is matched against the subject. Wrap a multi-word phrase in double quotes to match it as one phrase. Use matchType 'exact' for whole-token matching instead of prefix. | | `matchType` | `"partial"` \| `"exact"` | No | How search tools match query terms. Restricted to partial/exact — the backend also supports regexp and an internal query mode, but those are not offered to the model. | | `entityTypes` | (`"documents"` \| `"chats"` \| `"emails"` \| `"channels"` \| `"projects"` \| `"call_records"` \| `"calendar_events"`)\[] | No | Which types of items to search. Leave empty (the default) to search all types — this is almost always what you want. Only set this when the user's request clearly targets one or more specific types. Examples: \['documents'], \['emails', 'documents'], \['channels'], \['call\_records']. | | `inbox` | string | No | Restrict email results to a single connected inbox, given as that inbox's email address (from ListInboxes). Omit to search every inbox the user can access. Only set this when the user scopes the request to a specific mailbox. Only affects email results. | | `tags` | TagFilter\[] | No | Restrict results to items carrying the given tags — any of them by default, every one of them with tagsMatch="all". Each entry names a tag by its label, matched case-insensitively against the user's own tags; only set scope ("personal" or "team") when the user distinguishes between their personal and team tags. An unknown label fails with the list of available tags — call ListTags first when unsure what tags exist. Only taggable items (documents, emails, AI chats, projects, call records, calendar events) can match, so channels are dropped while a tag filter is active. | | `tagsMatch` | `"any"` \| `"all"` | No | How multiple tag filters combine when filtering items. |
