tako-search

tako-search is a skill for Claude Code from TakoData/tako-mcp. It costs 73 tokens per session (888 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search tool that looks up current information on the live web and in a structured knowledge graph. It returns web results and, when available, a sourced card with values or charts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up current events, companies, markets, sports, weather, websites, economic data, or other factual information.
Why use it?
It provides a way to check facts, figures, and changing information instead of relying only on the agent's stored knowledge. The returned sources help support the answer.

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

tako-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 today.

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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tako

Tako searches the live web and a knowledge graph of licensed and public data in one call. The graph covers companies, markets, economies, sports, weather, prediction markets, websites, and more, and refreshes much of it during the day. When the graph has the answer, the result leads with a card: a headline value, its source, and a chart. Every search also returns web results. All tools below live on the Tako MCP server (server name tako).

Look something up

  1. Search first. Call tako_search once per question, naming the entity and what you want: "Apple revenue", "Lakers last game score", "US CPI inflation", "EU AI Act timeline". For a comparison, name both entities in one query: "Nvidia vs AMD gross margin". Run independent searches in parallel.
  2. Query website traffic by domain: "netflix.com monthly visits", not "Netflix website visits".
  3. If a card comes back, check that it answers the question: the same entity, metric, and unit. For example, operating income isn't operating margin. Read the value from the card's description. To compute something from the card's rows, such as a growth rate, an average, or a correlation, follow Compute over a series.
  4. If no card answers the question, answer from the web results. To read a page in full, pass its url to tako_contents.
  5. If a name is ambiguous, such as "Costco" or "Coca-Cola", and the question doesn't settle which entity, ask before quoting a number.

If the user asks for Tako's agent and the tako-agent skill is installed, follow tako-agent instead.

Compute over a series

Compute in code, never in your head: growth rates, averages, CAGR, correlations, and rankings. Report what the code prints. Only a card marked exportable: true has rows to fetch.

  1. If you can run shell commands, call tako_contents with delivery: "link", then download the file right away: curl -sfL -o <name>.csv "<url>". The link expires 5 minutes after the call. Analyze the file in a script and read only the result, so the rows never enter your context. If the result says truncated, call again with a higher max_rows, up to 100,000.
  2. If the download fails, your shell may have no network access. Call tako_contents again without delivery, with max_rows at 2,000 or less, and pass the inline rows to your code tool.
  3. If you have no shell, or tako_contents has no delivery input, fetch the rows inline and pass them to your code tool. With no code tool at all, show each step of the arithmetic so the user can check it.
  4. If tako_contents has a format input, set format: "card" for a card's own structure, such as a company card's tabs.

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.
