Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
searxng_web_searchA

Searches the web using SearXNG and returns a list of results, each with a title, URL, and content snippet. CRITICAL: The required parameter name is exactly query (not prompt, q, or any other name). Calls an external SearXNG instance; availability depends on the SEARXNG_URL configuration. Use pageno to paginate results; combine time_range and language to narrow scope. To read the full text of a result URL, follow up with web_url_read.

searxng_search_suggestionsA

Returns autocomplete suggestions from the configured SearXNG instance. Use this to refine vague or partial queries before searching.

searxng_instance_infoA

Discovers capabilities from all reachable configured SearXNG instances via /config, including categories.common/available, engines.common/available, defaults, locales, and plugins.

web_url_readA

Fetches a URL and returns its text content converted to markdown. Three modes: (1) Full content — omit filtering params; use startChar/maxLength to paginate large pages. (2) Section extraction — set section to return content under a specific heading. (3) Headings only — set readHeadings: true to list all headings (mutually exclusive with other filtering params). Returns an error string if the URL is unreachable or content cannot be extracted. Use after searxng_web_search to read the full content of individual result URLs.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: instance info, search suggestions, web search, and URL reading. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

Three tools follow the 'searxng_' prefix with verb_noun pattern, but 'web_url_read' breaks the prefix convention. Still mostly consistent and readable.

Tool Count5/5

Four tools is well-scoped for a search server, covering key functionalities without unnecessary bloat or gaps.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full workflow: discovering capabilities, refining queries, searching, and reading results. No obvious gaps for the intended purpose.
