Add Bright Data Rapid agent — specialized web intelligence via MCP

What does this PR do?

This contribution adds a GitHub Copilot custom agent that integrates with the Bright Data MCP server for live web access.

Agent Information

Bright Data Rapid Agent

Agent Name: Bright Data Rapid Agent
Category: specialized
Specialty: Live web research via Bright Data MCP — search, discover, and scrape with citations

Configures Copilot to use the Bright Data MCP server for web search and page retrieval using the discover, search_engine, scrape_as_markdown, and batch tools.
Instructs Copilot to perform live web operations through the configured Bright Data MCP server and cite retrieved sources using the page title and URL.

The agents can be selected from the Copilot agent picker on GitHub.com, when assigning issues, in Copilot Chat (/task), or through Copilot CLI (/agent or --agent).

Motivation

The Agency roster had no dedicated agents for live web research via MCP tooling. General-purpose agents can hallucinate current facts or use inconsistent web access patterns.

The agent fills these gaps:

Need Agent
Exploratory research on an unfamiliar topic Rapid Agent
Fact-checking a specific claim or current event Rapid Agent
Looking up official docs, specs, or release notes Rapid Agent
Reading and quoting content from known URLs Rapid Agent
Running several search queries at once Rapid Agent
Fetching multiple URLs in one step Rapid Agent
Simple search-and-scrape workflows without browser automation Rapid Agent

Testing

  • Simple research: “I'm evaluating headless browser options for AI agents in 2026. Discover recent comparisons and summarize the top 3 options with pros/cons. Cite every source.” using discoverscrape_as_markdown on top results
  • Targeted lookup: "What is the current stable version of Node.js? Use web search, cite the official source URL, and quote the version number from the page you open." via search_engine with inline citations
  • Batch comparison: "Run separate searches for: (1) "Bright Data MCP free tier requests", (2) "GitHub Copilot custom agents", (3) "MCP Model Context Protocol". Give one sentence per topic with a source link each." via scrape_batch for a side-by-side summary

Checklist

  • Original — not a near-duplicate (ran scripts/check-agent-originality.sh)
  • Follows agent template structure
  • Includes personality and voice
  • Has concrete code/template examples
  • Defines success metrics
  • Includes step-by-step workflow
  • Proofread and formatted correctly
  • Tested in real scenarios
