Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
web_searchA

Search the web using the Brave Search API. Returns titles, URLs, descriptions, and snippets.

This tool replaces the native web_search with anti-detection capabilities — queries go through the Brave Search API with your own API key, avoiding IP blocks.

Args:

  • query (string, required): Search query. Keep it short and specific (1-6 words).

  • count (number, optional): Number of results, 1-20. Default: 10.

  • offset (number, optional): Pagination offset. Default: 0.

  • country (string, optional): Two-letter country code for localized results.

  • search_lang (string, optional): Language code (e.g., 'en').

  • freshness (string, optional): Time filter — 'pd', 'pw', 'pm', 'py', or 'YYYY-MM-DDtoYYYY-MM-DD'.

Returns: Search results with title, url, description for each result. Includes extra_snippets when available.

Examples:

  • "latest Node.js release" -> query="Node.js latest release", freshness="pw"

  • "Python asyncio tutorial" -> query="Python asyncio tutorial"

web_fetchA

Fetch the contents of a web page with anti-detection capabilities.

This tool replaces the native web_fetch. It uses rotating real-browser user agents, optional proxy (Bright Data or any HTTP/SOCKS5), and automatic fallback to Jina Reader API for sites that block direct access.

Three fetch strategies:

  • "auto" (default): Tries direct fetch first (with UA rotation + proxy if configured). If blocked (403/429/503/captcha), automatically falls back to Jina Reader.

  • "direct": Direct HTTP fetch only. Uses rotating browser user agents and your configured proxy. Returns raw HTML.

  • "jina": Uses Jina Reader API exclusively. Best for JS-heavy sites. Returns clean LLM-ready markdown. Handles rendering server-side.

For fetching multiple URLs at once, use web_bulk_fetch instead — it's faster and uses a single tool call.

Args:

  • url (string, required): The URL to fetch. Must include https:// or http://.

  • strategy (string, optional): "auto", "direct", or "jina". Default: "auto".

Returns: Page content (HTML for direct, markdown for Jina), HTTP status, final URL after redirects, and which strategy was used.

web_bulk_fetchA

Fetch multiple URLs in parallel with anti-detection capabilities. Much faster than calling web_fetch multiple times.

Use this after web_search to fetch the top 3-4 results in a single call instead of making separate web_fetch calls.

Args:

  • urls (string[], required): Array of URLs to fetch (max 10). Each must include https:// or http://.

  • strategy (string, optional): "auto", "direct", or "jina". Applied to all URLs. Default: "auto".

Returns: Combined results for all URLs, each with page content, HTTP status, strategy used, and content size. Failed URLs are clearly marked.

Example: urls=["https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html", "https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/event-loop"]
