The Parallel integration now reaches beyond web search. v2.6.11 added tools for Parallel's Task API and Monitor API, so an agent can kick off task executions and track their progress rather than only running searches. Later releases kept the integration current: v2.6.16 and v2.6.17 migrated the Parallel backend and tools onto the GA `parallel-web` 1.0 API, so you build against the stable interface instead of a preview.

See the [cookbooks](https://github.com/agno-agi/agno/tree/main/cookbook/91_tools/parallel) for reference examples and the [v2.6.11 release notes](https://github.com/agno-agi/agno/releases/tag/v2.6.11) for the original addition.
