[tool] Add Webz.io News Search provider #990

Description

Description

Add Webz.io News Search as a modular search tool and deep-research searcher profile.

MS-Agent already has a Tavily search implementation under ms_agent/tools/search and a corresponding deep-research YAML profile. Webz.io would add a news-specific provider for current-events research, company research, risk analysis, and news-grounded agents.

Suggested implementation:

  • Add a webz search package alongside tavily.
  • Configure authentication through WEBZ_API_KEY.
  • Accept a natural-language query and optional filters for publication date, country, language, category, and sentiment.
  • Normalize article titles, URLs, publication dates, source metadata, and relevant excerpts into the existing search interface.
  • Add a searcher.webz.yaml deep-research profile, documentation, and tests.

API documentation: https://docs.webz.io/docs/webz/news-search-api

Webz.io searches recent global news rather than the general web, so it would complement the existing Tavily integration.

Disclosure: I am with Webz.io and would be happy to help with API details or implementation guidance.
