Web Search by Desearch
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This is a coherent web-search skill that calls Desearch’s API with a user-provided key; users should be aware that searches may be sent to Desearch and use account quota.
This skill appears safe and purpose-aligned for web search. Before installing, make sure you are comfortable giving it access to a Desearch API key and sending search terms to Desearch’s service, especially if queries may contain private or sensitive information.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Searches made through the skill may consume the user’s Desearch account quota or balance.
The skill requires a provider API key from the user’s environment; this is disclosed and aligned with using Desearch, but it authorizes account usage.
key = os.environ.get("DESEARCH_API_KEY")Use a Desearch key with appropriate account limits and rotate or revoke it if it is no longer needed.
Search queries are shared with the Desearch service and may be subject to that provider’s logging, retention, and billing policies.
The script sends the user’s search query to Desearch’s external API endpoint, which is expected for this web-search function.
DESEARCH_BASE = "https://api.desearch.ai"
Avoid sending highly sensitive private information as search queries unless you are comfortable with Desearch’s handling of that data.
