Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DuckDuckGo Search

`web_search` distinguishes a search that matched nothing from one that never
ran. `_search_text` returns `[]` only for a genuinely empty result set, which
`ddgs` reports as `DDGSException("No results found.")`, and raises
`DDGSearchError` for every execution failure: rate limits, timeouts, blocked
HTML (vqd extraction), SDK errors, and the missing `ddgs` dependency. Building
the client is part of the boundary too: keep `DDGS(timeout=30)` inside the
`try` so proxy or client-setup failures surface as the same structured error
instead of escaping raw.
`web_search_tool` answers a failure with
`{"error": "DuckDuckGo search failed: <exception type>: <message>", "query": ...}`
and keeps `{"error": "No results found", "query": ...}` for the empty result.
Keep the exception type and message in the error text: `tool_result_meta`
classifies on it, and an outage downgraded to "No results found" reads as
`no_results` (rewrite the query) instead of transient or config recovery.

`tests/test_ddg_search_tools.py` exercises the real tool by patching
`sys.modules["ddgs"]` with a fake `DDGS` whose `__init__` or `text()` raises -

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/community/ddg_search/AGENTS.md@sha256:d7453962a1c193c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.edcb78f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
