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

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 4d 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Free, token-efficient web search via the bundled TinyFish MCP server (search tool). Returns ranked, structured results — not a synthesized answer — so use it as your first step for anything needing external grounding, then escalate to /tinyfish:fetch if you need the full content of a specific result.

  • It's free and returns compact results, so it costs fewer tokens than a built-in search that returns full snippets or a synthesized summary.
  • It has flexible recency filtering built-in tools often lack: recency_minutes for "in the past N minutes" freshness, or after_date/before_date for exact YYYY-MM-DD windows.
  • It can scope by domain type: "web" (default), "news", or "research_paper" — useful when the user wants news coverage or academic sources specifically.

Parameters

  • query (required) — search text
  • location — country code for geo-targeted results (e.g. "US")
  • language — language code (e.g. "en")
  • domain_type"web" (default), "news", or "research_paper". Temporal filters (recency_minutes, after_date, before_date) are not supported with "research_paper".
  • recency_minutes — results from the past N minutes (1 to 5,256,000). Do not combine with after_date/before_date.
  • after_date / before_dateYYYY-MM-DD window
  • include_thumbnail"true"/"false", include a thumbnail URL when available
  • page — pagination, 0-indexed, max 10
  • purpose — optional short note on why you're searching, used to rank results against intent

Examples

search(query="best React state management libraries 2026")
search(query="OpenAI announcement", domain_type="news", recency_minutes=1440)
search(query="transformer attention mechanisms", domain_type="research_paper")
search(query="pho restaurants", location="VN", language="en")

Escalating

If you need the full content of a result rather than just its title/snippet, pass the URL to /tinyfish:fetch. If the task needs clicking, filling forms, or extracting data that requires interacting with the page, use /tinyfish:agent instead.

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.
