Search tool usage when AI model has web search capability?

Hi I have use an ai agent node with an open ai chat model node using gpt-4o-search and I also add a tool using http request node to serper.dev as my search tool. There isn’t any error in the output search but the ai agent doesn’t use the search tool at all. My question is that do I still need to use search tool when the model has a capability to do web search like gpt-4o-search or perplexity sonar?

Im not sure if 4o-search is fully supported yet. I would just use 4o-mini and a SerpAPI tool to get the job done

I use gpt-4o-search through cometAPI. Not sure if it’s skip the web search tool because it is has already web searching capability or not because when I try to use another model the ai agent use the search tool.
