Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

serp

Web search results (SERP). Keyless web search returning ranked title, URL, and snippet for a query — with locale/region targeting, freshness filters (past day, week, month, year), pagination, a news mode that adds publish date and source, and selectable backend engine (auto rotation, or pin Brave, Yahoo, or Yandex).

Discovered
serp_multi

One search query fanned out across 2-3 search engines (Brave, Yahoo, Yandex) with results deduplicated by URL and merged by reciprocal-rank fusion: consensus ranking across engines instead of one engine's bias, with per-engine rank attribution on every result. [$0.05/call]. Params — q: search query; engines: comma list of 2-3 engines: yahoo, yandex (web mode). news mode has a single live engine (bing), so multi-engine is web-only; num_results: max results per engine, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); mode: string (web|news) Example params: {'q': 'best vector database 2026', 'engines': 'yahoo,yandex'}

Discovered
serp_read

Web search plus page reading in one call: answer with sources. Runs a web search, scrapes the top results, and returns the ranked search results together with each page's content as clean LLM-ready markdown, so an agent gets the SERP AND the underlying text without a second round of scrape calls. Per-page fetch errors are reported honestly per URL. [$0.08/call]. Params — q: search query; fetch_top: how many top results to fetch and extract, cap 5; maxChars: max markdown chars per fetched page; num_results: ranked results to return, cap 25; region: locale, e.g. us-en, uk-en, de-de; timelimit: restrict to past day/week/month/year (d|w|m|y); safesearch: string (on|moderate|off); mode: string (web|news); engine: search backend: auto (recommended) or yahoo/yandex (web); bing (news) Example params: {'q': 'how does x402 payment protocol work', 'fetch_top': 3}

trend

Google Trends interest over time for a keyword. Returns Google Trends search interest as a dated series indexed 0-100: weekly points across the default past 12 months, daily points for 30- and 90-day windows, and windows from the past hour back to 2004, with optional country targeting. For keyword trend analysis, search demand seasonality, and SEO keyword research. [$0.05/call]. Params — keyword: the search term to chart; geo: ISO-3166 alpha-2 country code, e.g. US, GB, DE, JP (213 countries supported); omit for worldwide; timeframe: time window. Each response reports its own bucket size in `granularity`: past_30_days and past_90_days return a daily series, past_12_months and past_5_years weekly, windows under a day hourly (2004_present|past_12_months|past_30_days|past_4_hours|past_5_years|past_7_days|past_90_days|past_day|past_hour) Example params: {'keyword': 'bitcoin', 'geo': 'US'}
