Overview

Provides Google search via the Serper API and concurrently scrapes each result page to return clean, full-text article content in a streamed JSON format, with explicit control over search mode (default/current) and locale.

Key Advantages

1.Combines Google search with full-page text extraction, not just snippets, enabling deep understanding from a single query.
2.Concurrent page scraping with a 3-second timeout per page balances coverage with responsiveness.
3.Two clearly defined modes (default vs current) make it straightforward to choose between evergreen research and time-sensitive/news-focused queries.
4.Explicit locale control via --gl and --hl supports non-English queries and region-specific results when needed.
5.Strong usage guidance enforces query discipline (one well-crafted query, at most two calls) to control cost and latency while still getting rich information per call.

Use Cases

  • Answering factual questions that require up-to-date or web-sourced information beyond the model’s training cutoff.
  • Researching topics where full article content is important, such as technical tutorials, documentation, deep-dive explainers, and long-form analysis.
  • Handling news and current events queries (with --mode current), including recent announcements, policy changes, product launches, and breaking stories.
  • Product research and comparisons where reading full reviews, specs pages, and documentation pages provides better grounding than snippets.
  • Retrieving localized or language-specific information by setting appropriate --gl/--hl for non-English queries or region-targeted searches.

**Quick judgment** A strong and well-designed web search skill that combines Serper-based Google search with concurrent full-page content extraction. It is highly suitable for fact-finding, research, and current events, provided agents follow the strict usage discipline (one well-crafted query, at most two calls, correct mode/locale) and do not chain it with other URL-fetching tools. **Key strengths** - Returns multiple results per call (5 default, up to 6 current) with full article text, giving rich context from a single invocation. - Clear, opinionated guidance on when and how to use it (mode selection, locale rules, query discipline), which helps agents avoid wasteful or redundant calls. - Concurrent scraping and 3s timeouts keep latency manageable while still attempting to extract full content. **Main risks / limitations** - Page extraction can fail or be incomplete due to site structure, blocking, or the 3-second timeout; agents must be robust to missing or partial `content` fields. - Results are uncurated web content and may include misinformation, policy-violating material, or spam; downstream reasoning must critically evaluate sources. - Streaming JSON array output (metadata object followed by per-result objects) requires careful parsing; naive consumers expecting a single JSON object may mis-handle it. - Requires a Serper API key in the environment; failures or quota limits will surface as tool errors. **Recommended scenarios** - When the user explicitly needs **current information** (e.g., recent news, latest announcements, up-to-date prices) → use `--mode current`. - When the user needs **in-depth web-sourced content** (technical docs, long articles, detailed guides) beyond what training data can safely provide → use `default` mode. - When queries are **non-English or geographically targeted**, ensure `--gl` and `--hl` are set correctly (e.g., German query → `--gl de --hl de`). - Avoid using this skill for tasks solvable from training data (math, coding, creative writing, generic explanations) and never follow its URLs with additional web-fetch tools, since their full content is already included in the output.
