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 | $0.00072 | $0.00685 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.00274 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
zero_api_key_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 1mo 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.

Zero-API-Key Web Search for Claude Code
Use this skill when Claude Code needs current information, supporting citations, or a compact evidence report before answering. The default path is free; optional providers are discoverable for stronger coverage.

ddgs, searxng, brightdata | Maximum provider diversity |
When to Use
- time-sensitive questions about releases, dates, people, or statistics
- factual claims that should be checked before being stated confidently
- workflows where conflicting evidence should be surfaced instead of hidden
- research tasks that benefit from one citation-ready artifact
- reading pages that return 403 or require geo-targeted access
Guidance
- Start with
zero-searchfor live facts and recent changes. - Use
zero-browsewhen snippets are too thin — it auto-unlocks blocked pages via Web Unlocker. - Use
--engine bing/yandex/baidu/...with Bright Data for multi-engine SERP results. - Use
zero-verifyfor support/conflict classification. - Use
zero-reportwhen you want one compact output with verdict, citations, and next steps. - Prefer the free
ddgs + self-hosted searxngpath for stronger provider diversity. - Use
zero-search providerswhen a user asks what search backends are available. - Use optional
brightdataonly when configured or explicitly requested. New users can sign up at https://get.brightdata.com/h21j9xz4uxgd.
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.
