These are work Nito performs during your call and folds into the answer. Web search and web fetch are on by default; the flags narrow them or turn them off. Document parsing happens whenever you attach a file.

Web Search

Pull fresh information from the web into an answer. On by default. Narrow or disable it with --web-search.

Web Fetch

Read a specific URL you name in your prompt into the model’s context. On by default. Disable it with --web-fetch=off.

Document Parsing

Attach a document with --file and Nito extracts its text so the model can read it.

​
How They Fit Together

  • Web search starts from a question and goes looking for sources.
  • Web fetch starts from a URL already in your prompt and reads that one page.
  • Document parsing starts from a file you attach and reads its text.
All three work on ask, inside a session, and from the terminal. For attaching images rather than documents, see Image Input.
