Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| searchA | Search the web using SearXNG metasearch engine. Aggregates results from 200+ search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, etc.) with privacy. Returns results, answers, suggestions, corrections, and infoboxes. Use 'categories' to focus on specific content types. Use 'pages' for more results. Not suitable for autocomplete suggestions (use autocomplete tool) or discovering available engines/categories (use engine_info tool). Results are cached for 60 seconds. |
| autocompleteA | Get search query suggestions from SearXNG. Returns a list of autocomplete suggestions for the given partial query. Use this to discover relevant search terms before performing a full search. Best results come from 1-2 meaningful keywords (e.g., "python async"). Single characters return overly broad suggestions; full sentences return none. Makes an external API call to the configured autocomplete backend (e.g., Bing, Google). Not suitable for full web search (use search tool) or engine discovery (use engine_info tool). |
| engine_infoA | Get available search engines and categories from the SearXNG instance. Returns the list of enabled engines grouped by category. Use this to discover what engines and categories are available before calling search with specific engines or categories filters. Response is cached for 5 minutes. Does not perform any web search — use the search tool for that. |
