Which Perplexity tool?
/research <topic>)NOT Perplexity - use these instead:
gt CLI → Graphite MCPWhen to use:
Default parameters (ALWAYS USE):
mcp__perplexity__perplexity_search({
query: "your search query",
max_results: 3, // Default is 10 - too many!
max_tokens_per_page: 512 // Reduce per-result content
})
When to increase limits: Only if:
// Increased limits (use sparingly)
mcp__perplexity__perplexity_search({
query: "complex topic",
max_results: 5,
max_tokens_per_page: 1024
})
When to use:
Usage:
mcp__perplexity__perplexity_ask({

content: "Explain how postgres advisory locks work"
}
]
})
NOT for:

Use instead: Researcher agent (/research <topic>)
