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-search 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/web_search.ts), 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 Search Skill

This skill guides the implementation of web search functionality using the z-ai-web-dev-sdk package, enabling applications to search the web and retrieve current information.

Installation Path

Recommended Location: {project_path}/skills/web-search

Extract this skill package to the above path in your project.

Reference Scripts: Example test scripts are available in the {project_path}/skills/web-search/scripts/ directory for quick testing and reference. See {project_path}/skills/web-search/scripts/web_search.ts for a working example.

Overview

The Web Search skill allows you to build applications that can search the internet, retrieve current information, and access real-time data from web sources.

IMPORTANT: z-ai-web-dev-sdk MUST be used in backend code only. Never use it in client-side code.

Prerequisites

The z-ai-web-dev-sdk package is already installed. Import it as shown in the examples below.

CLI Usage (For Simple Tasks)

For simple web search queries, you can use the z-ai CLI instead of writing code. This is ideal for quick information retrieval, testing search functionality, or command-line automation.

Basic Web Search

# Simple search query
z-ai function --name "web_search" --args '{"query": "artificial intelligence"}'

# Using short options
z-ai function -n web_search -a '{"query": "latest tech news"}'

Search with Custom Parameters

# Limit number of results
z-ai function \
  -n web_search \
  -a '{"query": "machine learning", "num": 5}'

# Search with recency filter (results from last N days)
z-ai function \
  -n web_search \
  -a '{"query": "cryptocurrency news", "num": 10, "recency_days": 7}'

Save Search Results

# Save results to JSON file
z-ai function \
  -n web_search \
  -a '{"query": "climate change research", "num": 5}' \
  -o search_results.json

# Recent news with file output
z-ai function \
  -n web_search \
  -a '{"query": "AI breakthroughs", "num": 3, "recency_days": 1}' \
  -o ai_news.json

What ships with it

2 files 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.
