`web_search_tool` skipped non-object entries but returned the filtered list
even when it was empty, so a non-empty `results`/`entries`/`articles`
container holding no objects fell through to "No results found". That tells
the agent the query legitimately matched nothing instead of surfacing the
malformed payload -- the failure mode the sibling providers already contain
(brave #6550, groundroute #6603, tavily #6645, sofya #6719): a 200 body
wrapped around an upstream error page ends a research loop as "no hits".
Extract `_response_rows`, which treats a missing or null container as an
empty search and a container that is not a list, or a non-empty list holding
no objects, as the provider's format error, keeping non-object entries
skipped in order so valid rows survive. Both call sites (all three verticals
share one helper) now return the existing structured error.
RED/GREEN: the 7 new cases fail on main with "No results found" and pass
with the fix; test_serply_tools.py 34 passed, the five provider suites
(serply/serper/tavily/sofya/tencent_wsa) 284 passed, ruff check and format
clean.
* fix(tools): make the search coercion guards catch OverflowError
The community search tools coerce max_results (and Sofya's content
limit) from YAML config or tool parameters through guards that catch
only TypeError and ValueError. `int(float('inf'))` raises OverflowError
instead, so a YAML `.inf` (or a JSON `Infinity`) value still crashes
the coercion - SearXNG's search even fails wholesale with
'cannot convert float infinity to integer'.
Catch OverflowError alongside them so an infinite value falls back to
the default like every other invalid input. NaN is already covered by
ValueError.

* test(tools): move the GroundRoute inf test to module scope
The regression test was appended inside TestWebSearchTool, ending the
class early and turning its last two methods into uncollected nested
functions. Move it after TestWebFetchTool so pytest collects all 20
tests again.

Add deerflow.community.serply.tools:web_search_tool, a Google SERP
provider for the web_search slot that also covers Google News and Google
Scholar through an optional `vertical` config option. Reads the key from
api_key in config.yaml or SERPLY_API_KEY, clamps max_results to Serply's
1-100 range, and returns the same structured JSON errors as the Serper
and Brave tools.
Register the provider in config.example.yaml, scripts/doctor.py,
scripts/wizard/providers.py, .env.example, backend/docs/CONFIGURATION.md,
the en/zh tools.mdx provider tabs, and tools/AGENTS.md. Tests mock httpx.
