What it does
Brave Search is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Independent web search from Brave's own index. Trigger phrases: brave, brave search, web search.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/brave-search.py`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with Brave Search API. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web search
Example prompts
- “/brave-search”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- This connector is read-only: it only searches the web. It never writes, modifies, or sends anything on the user's behalf.
- The --count parameter is clamped to 1-20 by the CLI; keep it at 10 or fewer unless the user asks for more, to conserve the 2,000…
- Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Brave Search loads about 440 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
