Web Search	Let your agent search the web

The Web Search tool allows your agent to use the Brave Search API search the web for up-to-date information, making it ideal for answering questions about current events, finding specific data, or gathering general information.

Setup

To use the Web Search tool, you need to obtain an API key from Brave Search. You can get one by signing up at https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com

As of the time of writing, Brave Search API offers 5$ of free credits per month on their basic plan, which is more than enough for testing and small-scale use.

To install the Web Search extension, run the following command in your terminal:

ironclaw registry install web-search

After installing the extension, you need to configure your Brave Search API key in IronClaw. You can do this by running:

ironclaw tool auth web-search

Then follow the prompts to enter your API key.
