Description
Agent-first web search and retrieval for live web search, news search, docs lookup, code lookup, company research, site crawl, site map, and structured evide...
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want an agent to perform live web search and retrieval. Avoid submitting private/internal URLs or secret-bearing query strings, and configure only the provider API keys and endpoints you are comfortable sending search queries, URLs, and retrieved content to.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: web-search-pro
Version: 2.1.4
The web-search-pro bundle is a legitimate and well-architected web search and research tool for AI agents. It implements a federated search system supporting multiple providers (Tavily, Exa, Brave, etc.) and includes a robust security boundary in `scripts/lib/url-safety.mjs` and `scripts/lib/web-fetch.mjs` to prevent SSRF attacks by blocking access to localhost, private IP ranges, and cloud metadata services. While `scripts/lib/http-client.mjs` utilizes `curl` via `execFile` for network requests, it does so without spawning a shell, and the overall logic is strictly aligned with the stated purpose of providing structured retrieval and research capabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is live search, extraction, crawling, mapping, and research packs, and the implemented Node commands match that scope.
Instruction Scope
Invocation keywords and commands are broad, but they align with web search, news, docs lookup, and research use cases; no hidden role-changing or prompt-injection behavior was found.
Install Mechanism
The package is a code-backed Node skill pack with no remote installer, curl-to-shell bootstrap, or unexpected install-time mutation.
Credentials
Outbound requests and optional API keys are proportionate for a federated search tool. Users should understand that configured providers receive the searches, URLs, and extraction requests sent through them.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill writes cache and provider health state under the disclosed .cache/web-search-pro directory; no privilege escalation, background worker, or unbounded persistence was found.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install web-search-pro - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/web-search-pro - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.1.4
Split docs by audience and language: English-only README, standalone README_zh, clearer agent-facing SKILL contract, and audited doc audience framing.
v2.1.3
Declared the Node install model, config.json read path, and .cache/web-search-pro state directory in ClawHub metadata and docs.
v2.1.2
Added clawdbot metadata, clarified the package as a code-backed Node runtime, and removed the Python helper transport from the no-key ddg baseline.
v2.1.1
Improve first-use onboarding with a real quick start and make federated-search gains visible through compact metrics like recovered results, corroborated results, and duplicate savings.
v2.1.0
Upgrade the search and routing substrate with search-router v2, bootstrap, cache telemetry, broader provider coverage, Perplexity gateway support, and head-to-head evaluation.
v2.0.1
Publish a ClawHub core profile with optional env disclosure and a slimmer registry package boundary.
v2.0.0
Web Search Pro 2.0.0 evolves the original 1.x multi-provider search skill into a retrieval stack with search, extract, render, crawl, map, controlled federation, runtime diagnostics, and structured research evidence packs.
v1.0.2
align metadata with multi-provider runtime and reduce false suspicious flagging
v1.0.1
metadata clarity and validation hardening
v1.0.0
- Initial release of Web Search Pro: a multi-engine, precision web search tool for AI agents.
- Supports Tavily, Exa, Serper, and SerpAPI with auto-selection based on query and available keys.
- Enables domain filtering, date ranges, deep/advanced search, news mode, and content extraction.
- Flexible parameter control: includes options like result count, language, and specific search engines.
