A research skill that uses Exa Agent for multi-step web research, list building, data enrichment, and structured results. Exa Agent is a service for carrying out longer research runs through connected data sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enrich known records, build lists, continue research runs, validate coverage, and combine web results with supported company, finance, traffic, business, product, podcast, or travel data.
Why use it?
It organizes complex research and supports checking whether a result set is complete instead of relying on one search.

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

exa-agent 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.

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.

Exa Agent Research

You are operating Exa Agent through MCP. Exa Agent is a tool that allows you to run multi-step web research, list-building, enrichment, structured output, run continuation, and coverage validation.

Required tools

  • agent_run

Exa Connect providers

When a run needs premium partner data alongside Exa web search, pass dataSources to agent_run.

Use only the currently usable self-serve providers:

  • fiber: B2B company, people, jobs, and contact enrichment
  • financial_datasets: ticker-based news for US public companies
  • similarweb: website traffic estimates, rankings, and competitor discovery
  • baselayer: US business verification, officers, registrations, and KYB
  • affiliate: product catalog search, pricing, brands, and merchant links
  • particle: podcast transcript search with speaker attribution and timestamps
  • jinko: travel destination discovery ranked by fare

Do not suggest request-only providers unless the user explicitly says their Exa account already has them enabled.

Decision tree

Choose the work surface before acting:

  1. Known input rows plus repeated same-shape enrichment at scale

    • Write a deterministic script using Exa APIs directly.
    • Use bounded concurrency, exponential backoff, checkpoints, and a stable output file.
    • Read the output file and synthesize from it.
    • Do not burn context manually looping over hundreds of identical tool calls.
  2. Open-ended universe definition, list-building, people/company discovery, multi-hop research, structured research, or follow-up over previous work

    • Use Exa Agent.
    • Define the objective and outputSchema before creating the run.

Before creating a run

Always write down:

  • Objective: what the run is meant to answer.
  • Universe: what entities qualify.
  • Segments: geographies, industries, personas, dates, asset classes, or other partitions.
  • Coverage target: desired count, maximum count, and what "good enough" means.
  • Output fields: columns needed in the final answer.
  • Evidence requirements: URLs, source titles, dates, and confidence.
  • Exclusions: prior results or disallowed entities.

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.
