Search the web and ingest results as wiki pages.

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

# Web Search Skill

Accepts a natural language query, calls the Tavily AI search API, and
returns the top matching URLs. Your agent receives those URLs and decides
what to do with them — fetch each one, display them, pass them to another
skill, etc.

## Setup

**1. Install the dependency:**
```bash
pip install tavily-python
```

**2. Set your Tavily API key** (free tier: 1,000 searches/month — sign up at
https://tavily.com, no credit card required):
```bash
# macOS / Linux
export TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-your-key-here"

# Windows (Command Prompt)
set TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-your-key-here

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TAVILY_API_KEY = "tvly-your-key-here"
```

**3. Optional — cap the number of results** (default: 20):
```bash
export SYNTHADOC_WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS=10
```

## Standalone usage

```python
import asyncio
from synthadoc.skills.web_search.scripts.main import WebSearchSkill

skill = WebSearchSkill()

async def main():
    result = await skill.extract("search for: transformer architecture papers")
    urls = result.metadata["child_sources"]   # list[str] — top matching URLs
    query = result.metadata["query"]          # "transformer architecture papers"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add axoviq-ai/synthadoc/web_search@sha256:c10c47831786e21e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
