Example prompt: Can you look up current open-source maintainer signals for React—release activity, governance, and project health—and return up to 5 recent web sources so our product team can evaluate it as a dependency?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a product team needs quick, web-sourced intelligence on open-source maintainer activity, governance, and project health—especially for dependency evaluation, vendor risk assessment, or ecosystem research. Prefer it over static database lookups when you need current web signals and links rather than historical repository metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns no results if the project name is too obscure or not indexed by current web sources
- Irrelevant results if the query is too generic or ambiguous
- max_results exceeding 10 will be rejected by schema validation
- Stale or low-quality web sources may surface if the topic has limited recent coverage
- API may return partial results if web search rate limits are encountered
