ToShop DocsSearch
Web search, place search, news, and skill-bound search — pull external facts into the task.
When your agent needs information that's not in your context, it searches first instead of guessing. Search results are short summaries with citations; your agent picks which to fetch in full.
Search surfaces
General web
For facts, definitions, recent events. Backed by Brave Search by default.
web_search("What's the latest Apple Silicon Mac?")News headlines
Recent headlines on a topic.
news_search("React 19 release")Saying "the latest news on…" auto-routes here.
Places
Businesses and locations.
places_search("coffee shop near 1 Infinite Loop")"Where's the closest…" auto-routes here.
Inside skills
Some skills search inside their own domain — Shopify product search, GitHub repo search, Apple Notes search. Your agent picks these when the prompt names the domain.
Where results come from
ToShop uses external search providers under your account; results are not stored on ToShop servers. The providers used are listed in Settings → Agent.
If you bring your own search API keys (for example, for a specific provider), they go in the same place — stored in the OS keychain.
Search vs Browser
Use Search — short summaries with citations, multiple sources.
Use Browser open_url — opens in your system browser.
Use Browser web_fetch for HTTP fetch, or browser_* if the page needs JS.
