Web Search

Bring fresh external context into any turn.

BudgetAI can pull fresh external context into a turn through a configured search provider, then fetch and extract page content safely.

Configure search

budgetai configure search \
  --search-provider brave \
  --api-key-env BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY

Supported providers include Brave and DuckDuckGo.

Page fetches block unsafe internal-network requests (SSRF protection) and extract readable content rather than raw HTML.

Search and fetch are tools like any other — they run behind the sandbox and can require approval depending on your permission posture.
