serpbase-skill AGENTS.md

Instructions for using SerpBase, a service that retrieves current Google search, image, news, video, and map results for coding and research agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching Google results, finding images and news, locating places on maps, retrieving place details, and choosing the required authentication and command.
Why use it?
They provide a consistent way to obtain up-to-date search results while preventing API keys from being exposed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

serpbase-skill AGENTS.md 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

SerpBase Agent Instructions

Use this file for agents that read project-level instructions such as Codex, opencode, OpenClaw-style agents, and other coding/research agents.

Capability

Use SerpBase for current Google SERP data:

  • Google Search: web results and SERP modules
  • Google Images: image URLs, thumbnails, and source pages
  • Google News: articles, publishers, timestamps, and snippets
  • Google Videos: video links, sources, durations, and thumbnails
  • Google Maps Search: local places
  • Google Maps Detail: place detail by feature_id

Authentication

Require SERPBASE_API_KEY in the environment, or pass --api-key to scripts/serpbase_search.py.

Never print, log, commit, or reveal API keys. If the key is missing, ask the user to create one at https://serpbase.dev/dashboard/api-keys.

How To Call

Prefer a SerpBase MCP server if one is available. Otherwise run the bundled script from this folder:

python scripts/serpbase_search.py --type search --query "python asyncio" --hl en --gl us --page 1

Maps search:

python scripts/serpbase_search.py --type maps_search --query "coffee" --lat 37.7749 --lng -122.4194 --zoom 14

Maps detail:

python scripts/serpbase_search.py --type maps_detail --feature-id "0x8085809c2c6fdc63:0x4b3f2d70e4f5a123"

Routing

  • Broad web discovery: search
  • Images: images
  • News/current publisher discovery: news
  • Videos/tutorial/media discovery: videos
  • Local businesses or places: maps_search
  • Details for one Maps result: maps_detail

Use hl=en, gl=us, page=1 unless the task or user explicitly calls for another locale. For Maps geo-targeting, send lat and lng together.

Answering

Cite result URLs where available. Use link, url, display_url, or google_maps_url as source fields. Separate facts returned by SerpBase from your inference. Do not invent missing fields.

Changes

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.
