Brave Search
Search the web privately over an index that doesn't track you
About this skill
Brave Search lets your assistant look things up on the live web using Brave's own independent index, covering web pages, news, images, video, and local places. It only sends your search query to Brave and never touches your local files or personal data. You need a free Brave Search API key to use it, and results come back with privacy that mainstream search engines don't offer.
What it does
- Run private web, news, image, video, local, and place searches over Brave's independent index
- Generate AI summaries and pre-extracted web context for answers
- Filter results by freshness, language, country, and safe-search level
- Read, write, or delete any local files or personal data
- Access accounts, contacts, email, or credentials beyond the Brave Search API key
- Run shell commands or modify your system
Security report
- Hidden instructions that could trick your AI (prompt injection)
- Secretly collecting or sending your data (data exfiltration)
- Asking for more access than it needs
- Unsafe actions that could delete or send things without asking
- Where it comes from and whether its licence is clear
