Is there a way to access the built-in web search tool present in the chat UI via API requests?
Also, if available, is there a rate limit or any other limitation at the moment?

Planning to add a simple way to access the API and then add a way to use built in tools on top of that. API will probably come first and then more built in tools!

are you planning to allow tools for all models that support them? right not only a few models actually can use the new tools even if the model selected does support tools
