search

search is a command for coding agents from datacore-one/datacore. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Multi-source semantic search across local knowledge (Datacortex) and web intelligence (Perplexity).

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Command Context

When to Reference DIP-0021

Always reference when:

  • Running multi-source search queries
  • Combining internal + external results
  • Enforcing latency contracts
  • Offering /research for deeper exploration

Key decisions this DIP informs:

  • Source registry determines which sources to query
  • Timeout enforcement (5 second max)
  • Graceful degradation when external sources unavailable
  • Synthesis format: internal-first, then external enrichment

When to Reference DIP-0004

Always reference when:

  • Performing Datacortex semantic search
  • Synthesizing answers from documents
  • Offering zettel creation
  • Checking embedding status

Quick Reference

Question Answer
Search engine (internal)? datacortex search
Search engine (external)? Perplexity via MCP (perplexity_search)
Source registry? .datacore/registry/sources.yaml
Settings? .datacore/settings.yaml (search.timeout_ms)
Timeout? 5000ms (configurable)
Default internal results? Top 5
What DIPs govern this? DIP-0021, DIP-0004

Agents This Command Invokes

Agent Purpose
(none) Direct datacortex + MCP tool calls

Integration Points

  • DIP-0021 - Multi-source search architecture
  • DIP-0004 - Datacortex retrieval
  • Source Registry - .datacore/registry/sources.yaml

Multi-source semantic search: local knowledge (Datacortex) + web intelligence (Perplexity).

Query: $ARGUMENTS

Reads (at startup)

  1. .datacore/registry/sources.yaml — identify sources with layers containing search and valid API keys
  2. .datacore/settings.yaml — read search.timeout_ms (default 5000)

Behavior

Step 1: Run Searches in Parallel

Internal (always):

datacortex search "$ARGUMENTS" --top 5

External (if available): Check sources.yaml for sources with layers: [search] and valid API keys. For each available source within the latency budget (max_latency_ms < timeout_ms):

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

search is a command published in the GitHub repository datacore-one/datacore (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,370 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
