What it does
Independent web search from Brave's own index. Trigger phrases: brave, brave search, web search.
Brave Search
Purpose
Read-only web search powered by Brave's own independent index. Use when the user mentions Brave or asks for a web search.
Tooling
All commands go through bin/brave-search.py:
bin/brave-search.py auth # verify the connection
bin/brave-search.py search --query "AI agent frameworks" --count 10 # web search
Auth
- Provider id:
brave-search(credential is collected ascustom.brave-search) - Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (
credentials.request_api_access) - Get a key: brave.com/search/api (free tier: 2,000 queries/month)
- Allowed hosts:
api.search.brave.com - Status check:
bin/brave-search.py auth(must return"ok": true) - Connect placement:
custom_header:X-Subscription-Token
Operating Rules
- This connector is read-only: it only searches the web. It never writes, modifies, or sends anything on the user's behalf.
- The
--countparameter is clamped to 1-20 by the CLI; keep it at 10 or fewer unless the user asks for more, to conserve the 2,000 queries/month free tier. - Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
