What it does
Google Search is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Search the web using Google Custom Search Engine (PSE). Use this when you need live information, documentation, or to research topics and the built-in websearch is unavailable.
Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/search.py`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web search
Example prompts
- “/google-search”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in GOOGLE_API_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Google Cloud Console: Create a project and enable the "Custom Search API".
- API Key: Generate an API Key.
- Search Engine ID (CX): Create a Programmable Search Engine at cse.google.com, and get your CX ID.
- Environment: Store your credentials in a .env file in your workspace
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
cse.google.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOOGLE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Google Search loads about 237 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 76 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:15
ironment:** Store your credentials in a `.env` file in your workspace:
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 76 words (~237 tokens).
“This skill allows OpenClaw agents to perform web searches via Google's Custom Search API (PSE).”
