Those instructions can now include a word limit. When the limit is between 50 and 5000, a line is added asking for a response under that many words.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a way to control how long a fetched page's summary is.\n\n- Area: WebFetch\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
