15 | 15 | ### **perplexity_search** |
16 | 16 | Direct web search using the Perplexity Search API. Returns ranked search results with metadata, perfect for finding current information. |
17 | 17 |
|
18 | 18 | ### **perplexity_ask** |
19 | | -General-purpose conversational AI with real-time web search using the `sonar-pro` model. Great for quick questions and everyday searches. |
| 19 | +General-purpose conversational AI with real-time web search, backed by the Agent API `fast` preset. Great for quick questions and everyday searches. |

|
21 | 21 | ### **perplexity_research** |
22 | | -Deep, comprehensive research using the `sonar-deep-research` model. Ideal for thorough analysis and detailed reports. |
| 22 | +Deep, comprehensive research backed by the Agent API `high` preset. Ideal for thorough analysis and detailed reports. Runs can take minutes; the server streams the run and reports progress to clients that request it. |
23 | 23 |
|
24 | 24 | ### **perplexity_reason** |
25 | | -Advanced reasoning and problem-solving using the `sonar-reasoning-pro` model. Perfect for complex analytical tasks. |
| 25 | +Advanced reasoning and problem-solving backed by the Agent API `medium` preset. Perfect for complex analytical tasks. |

27 | | -> [!TIP] |
28 | | -> Available as an optional parameter for **perplexity_reason** and **perplexity_research**: `strip_thinking` |
29 | | -> |
30 | | -> Set to `true` to remove `<think>...</think>` tags from the response, saving context tokens. Default: `false` |
| 27 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 28 | +> Presets are managed configurations (model, search setup, step budget) that Perplexity keeps tuned over time; see the [presets guide](https://docs.perplexity.ai/docs/agent-api/presets). Earlier versions of this server called the legacy `sonar-pro`, `sonar-reasoning-pro`, and `sonar-deep-research` models and accepted `strip_thinking` / `reasoning_effort` parameters. Those parameters are no longer part of the tool schemas and are ignored if sent; the Agent API produces no `<think>` tags. |
