Description
Search the web and get real-time SERP-style results with titles, URLs, and snippets. Use this for general web queries when you need current links and informa...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable providing a Desearch API key and sending your search terms to Desearch, where they may be subject to that provider's billing, logging, and retention policies. Avoid using sensitive private information as search queries.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: desearch-web-search
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides a client for the Desearch web search API. The `SKILL.md` file contains standard documentation and usage instructions without any prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/desearch.py` script correctly retrieves the `DESEARCH_API_KEY` from environment variables, makes HTTP GET requests to a hardcoded `https://api.desearch.ai` endpoint, and properly sanitizes user input (`query`, `start`) using `urllib.parse.urlencode` before constructing the URL. There is no evidence of arbitrary code execution, unauthorized file system access, data exfiltration, or other malicious behaviors. All actions are aligned with the stated purpose of performing web searches.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is web search, and the artifact contains a small Python CLI that calls the Desearch /web endpoint and prints JSON search results.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are limited to setup, example search commands, pagination, expected responses, and provider error handling; no hidden or unrelated agent instructions were found.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains only SKILL.md and scripts/desearch.py, with no installer, dependency download, package execution hook, or startup mechanism.
Credentials
The skill requires DESEARCH_API_KEY and sends user search queries to https://api.desearch.ai, which is disclosed and proportionate for a hosted search API.
Persistence & Privilege
The script reads the API key from the environment at runtime and does not store credentials, write files, modify local state, request elevated privileges, or create background persistence.
