The [Perplexity](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/perplexity>) Agent API's search-backed presets now return inline citations. The **fast** preset cites claims drawn from search results with numbered citations such as \[1\], while the **low**, **medium**, and **high** presets cite claims drawn from tool results or provided source artifacts with source-typed citations such as \[web:1\]. After a successful tool call, the low, medium, and high presets now include at least one citation in the final answer.

Frozen configurations for these presets now include their system prompts as well, per the [changelog](<https://docs.perplexity.ai/changelog#july-2026>).
