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 | $0.00123 | $0.03230 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00049 | $0.01292 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00646 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00323 |
Grade C, and why
web-search-fallback scanned grade C 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 2mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
GitHub API (gh CLI / curl), Semantic Scholar API, and direct curl page fetch. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Web Search Fallback — 零 MCP 额度的本地搜索/阅读
当 MCP web_search / webReader 工具返回 429 限流错误(MCP error -429 / Weekly/Monthly Limit Exhausted)时,立即切换到本 skill 的本地方案,不要重试 MCP。
也适用于:用户主动要求搜论文、搜 GitHub、读网页,且不想消耗 MCP 额度时。
路由决策表
| 用户意图 | 路由 | 工具 |
|---|---|---|
| 搜学术论文 | Route 1: arXiv API | curl + python XML 解析 |
| 搜 GitHub 仓库 | Route 2: GitHub API | gh search repos 或 curl REST API |
| 论文引用/关联图谱 | Route 3: Semantic Scholar | curl JSON API |
| 读特定 URL 内容 | Route 4: 直接 curl 抓取 | curl -sL + 文本提取 |
| 读知乎专栏文章 | Route 4b: 知乎 / Jina Reader | curl https://r.jina.ai/<url> |
| 通用网络搜索 | Route 5: DuckDuckGo HTML | curl + grep(兜底,质量有限) |
Windows 注意: 用 python 而非 python3(Windows App Execution Alias 会拦截 python3)。

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-fallback is a skill published in the GitHub repository phanghonghao/THU-Awesome-Skills (8 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 3,230 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
