SOURCE-BACKED AGENT TOOLS
Choose a web search tool for your agent.
Agents use web search to find sources, but search results and cited answers are different outputs. Decide whether you need a list of pages, extracted text or an answer with references before choosing a provider. Compare the published options below, then inspect the connection guide and provider documentation for the operation your workflow needs.

What to check before connecting
Choose the output you need
Look for the documented response shape: URLs, snippets, page text or generated answers. Decide which fields your next processing step can actually use rather than assuming that every search tool returns full content.
Check source and language coverage
Inspect the documented geographic, language, freshness and domain filters relevant to your task. A catalogue match is not a guarantee of coverage or an assessment of answer accuracy.
Review the cost of the complete path
A search call may be only the first step of a workflow that also reads pages or generates answers. Review the current provider terms and limits for every required operation; unknown total cost remains unknown.
Questions to resolve before integration
Is a search API the same as a page extraction service?
No. Search finds candidate sources; extraction reads or transforms content from a chosen page. Some providers offer both, but inspect the exact documented operation and its access requirements.
Are these web search services free?
Pricing varies by provider and operation. ToolSkipper displays documented pricing models and explicit unknowns. A free tier or an anonymous example does not establish unlimited use or a zero total workflow cost.
Inspect the evidence, then choose.
Read source links and check dates before relying on a service. ToolSkipper discovery never connects accounts or authorizes a payment.
