9Router routes requests from coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Cline to AI models from many providers. Developers use it to reduce token usage, track subscription capacity, and switch automatically between subscription, cheap, and free models. The catalogue includes nine skills and one instruction for 9Router.
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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 35 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.01243 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00622 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00249 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00124 |
Grade A, and why
9router-web-search scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d ago.
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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
9Router — Web Search
Requires NINEROUTER_URL (and NINEROUTER_KEY if auth enabled). See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decolua/9router/refs/heads/master/skills/9router/SKILL.md for setup.
Discover
curl $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/web | jq '.data[] | select(.kind=="webSearch") | .id'
# Per-provider params (searchTypes, maxResults, required options like cx for google-pse)
curl "$NINEROUTER_URL/v1/models/info?id=tavily/search"
IDs end in /search (e.g. tavily/search). Combos (owned_by:"combo") chain providers with auto-fallback.
Endpoint
POST $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/search
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
model (or provider) |
yes | from /v1/models/web (e.g. tavily or brave) |
query |
yes | search query |
max_results |
no | default 5 |
search_type |
no | web (default) / news / x for Xquik |
country, language, time_range, domain_filter |
no | provider-dependent |
Examples
curl -X POST $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NINEROUTER_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"tavily","query":"9Router open source","max_results":5}'
JS:
const r = await fetch(`${process.env.NINEROUTER_URL}/v1/search`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.NINEROUTER_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ model: "search-combo", query: "latest LLM benchmarks", max_results: 10 }),
});
console.log(await r.json());
X search with Xquik:
curl -X POST $NINEROUTER_URL/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $NINEROUTER_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"xquik","query":"from:github release","max_results":10,"provider_options":{"queryType":"Latest"}}'
Add the Xquik API key in 9Router's provider settings. Xquik charges 1 credit per returned post. Continue a search by passing pagination.next_cursor as provider_options.cursor.
Xquik responses include provider pagination and credit usage:
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 113 lines · 74 tokens per session scan A fe8a0b6ac802
9router-web-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository decolua/9router (28,262 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,243 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
