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.

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 | $0.00165 | $0.04046 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00082 | $0.02023 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00809 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00405 |
Grade B, and why
web-search scanned grade B with 2 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 10d 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 — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
web-search
Search the web and read pages by running the websearch CLI and reading its stdout.
Everything is keyless: no API key, no account.
CRITICAL: every internet access goes through this toolkit
When websearch proxy status reports locked: true, this CLI is the only way you reach
the internet in this session. Do not use your own web-search or web-fetch tools, curl,
wget, git clone, a browser tool, or any other network call, for anything: not a quick
lookup, not a raw file, not a docs page, not "just this once". Those tools leave from the
user's own address, which is what the lock exists to prevent.
If a websearch command is refused with error.code: "egress_locked", that is the lock
working. Report it and stop; do not route around it with another tool. If the user asks
for something this toolkit cannot fetch, say so rather than fetching it another way.
Run websearch <command> if it is on PATH; otherwise uvx websearch-skill <command>
(needs only uv); from a clone, uv run websearch <command>.
Default output is a compact human view; add --json for the structured Envelope
{ contract_version, ok, data, error, meta }. Exit 0 on success, 1 on an error Envelope
(error.code, error.message).
Start here: init
websearch init [--skip-searxng] [--quick] [--timeout-ms MS] [--json]
Run this ONCE at the start of a session, before searching. It reads the settings files, starts the local SearXNG, runs the full self-test, and reports what works. Give it a generous timeout: the first run installs SearXNG and can take a minute or more.
Read three fields and move on:
data.ready(bool): everything asked for is online. This is the flag to wait for.data.capabilities: per capability, one ofok,degraded,down,off(an optional layer nobody turned on),unknown(not probed,--quickonly).data.next_actions: what to do about anything not online. Empty when ready.
data.state is ready, degraded (search works, something asked for is missing), or
broken (search does not work). Exit code is 0 for the first two and 1 for the last.
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.

web-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository hec-ovi/websearch-skill (7 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 165 tokens to every session and 4,046 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks the agent to reveal its instructions, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
