Reporting Use Cases
The Web search requests field counts server-side tool calls the assistant made to search the web.
Billable tool use: Web searches are metered separately from tokens by the providers that offer them, so they are worth tracking alongside consumption.
Anthropic only: No other provider publishes a tool use count today.
