You.com Web search, research, and content extraction

**Judgment:** High-quality, well-designed web search and research skill for bash-based agents, with strong security guidance and good real-world adoption. Suitable as a primary web access layer for many OpenClaw agents. **Strengths:** - Covers core web needs: search, deep research with citations, and URL-based content extraction. - Requires only curl and jq, fits naturally into shell/tool-using agents. - Clear workflow for choosing between Search, Research, and Contents endpoints. - Strong emphasis on safety: treat all content as untrusted, wrap in `<external-content>`, and restrict domains to `api.you.com` and `ydc-index.io`. **Key Risks / Limitations:** - Research and Contents require a You.com API key; without it, functionality is limited to search. - Reliability and performance depend on external You.com services, including potential rate limits (429) and network conditions. - Error handling (e.g., retries/backoff) is described but not fully automated; agents must implement robust retry logic themselves. **Recommended Scenarios:** - Agents that need current web information, especially with citations, but can rely on external APIs. - Research and analysis workflows that benefit from summarized, cited outputs rather than raw search results alone. - Content-ingestion or grounding tasks where agents must pull full text from specific URLs and safely reason over it. - Any bash-oriented or curl/jq-capable environment needing a secure, opinionated pattern for interacting with web content.
