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

web-research 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/web_research.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Web Research(SearXNG + Jina Reader)

輕量網頁研究工具,結合兩個元件:

元件 用途 端點
SearXNG(本地) 隱私搜尋,聚合 Google / Bing / DDG 等 http://localhost:8888
Jina Reader 將任意 URL 轉成乾淨 Markdown,無須瀏覽器 https://r.jina.ai/<url>

何時使用

  • 需要搜尋最新資訊、新聞、技術文件 → 用 researchsearch
  • 需要讀取某個網頁的全文內容 → 用 fetch
  • 優先選擇此工具取代 browser-control;只有在需要登入、互動操作或 JS 渲染時才改用瀏覽器

前置需求

SearXNG 須在 Docker 內運行:

docker compose -f openclaw/docker-compose.yml up searxng -d

Jina Reader 為雲端服務,不需額外設定。

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
