well, I researched it with Claude Code and in effect, yes, but technically no - it is a single local call to whatever you have defined for ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL falling back to ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL with no system prompt(!), one turn, no tools.
The web_fetch call chain:

web_fetch_apply
 └─ uN({ querySource: "web_fetch_apply", ... })
     └─ model: Zf()
         └─ Zf()  = process.env.ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL || cIH()
         └─ cIH() = process.env.ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL || LA()[ir]
             ├─ ir = "haiku45"
             ├─ LA() → HA = { haiku35:…, haiku45: xg6, sonnet45:…, opus47:… }
             └─ xg6 = { firstParty: "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001",

This investigation was originally developed for The New York Times, where it underwent eight months of editing, multiple rounds of fact-checking, and independent replication of the underlying methodology. The piece had a scheduled publication date when requests for comment were sent. It was only after the Times reached out to the subjects of the investigation for routine comment that the Elias Law Group, representing the DCCC and DSCC, sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the paper not publish. Although the paper’s fact-checkers and legal department later cleared the piece before sending out a second round of requests for comment, the Times ultimately decided to kill the piece.

That's right.
During the ratification debates, Senator Cowan took aim
at the Roma people too, characterizing them as undeserving
of birthright citizenship because they “wander[ed] in
gangs,” “infest[ed] society,” and “impos[ed] upon the simple
and weak everywhere.”49 And again, Senator Conness dismissed Senator Cowan’s prejudices: “The only invasion of
Pennsylvania within my recollection was an invasion very
much worse and more disastrous to the State, and more to
be feared and more feared, than that of Gypsies. It was an
invasion of rebels [at Gettysburg].
