volcengine-web-search
Using volcengine web_search.py script to search web and get the result, prepare clear and specific `query`.Run the script `python scripts/web_search.py "query"`. Organize the answer based on the returned summary list, do not add or guess content.
Why use this skill?
Integrate real-time web search into OpenClaw with the volcengine-web-search skill. Get accurate, source-based summaries from the web.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/warm-wm/volcengine-web-searchWhat This Skill Does
The volcengine-web-search skill provides OpenClaw agents with the capability to perform real-time internet searches using the Volcengine search infrastructure. This tool acts as an interface between the agent and the web, allowing it to retrieve current information, facts, news, or technical documentation that exists outside of its internal training data. By executing a targeted search via the python scripts/web_search.py command, the skill fetches relevant web results and presents them as a structured summary list. It is specifically designed to provide grounded, source-based information without hallucination.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/warm-wm/volcengine-web-search
Ensure that you have your environment variables configured properly. The skill will automatically attempt to authenticate using VOLCENGINE_ACCESS_KEY and VOLCENGINE_SECRET_KEY. If these are not provided, it will fall back to VeFaaS IAM temporary credentials. Ensure your working directory is set correctly before invoking the script to allow the Python environment to locate the search module.
Use Cases
- Researching Current Events: Quickly gather summaries on breaking news or recent updates that occurred after the model's knowledge cutoff.
- Technical Debugging: Search for specific error codes or the latest documentation for software libraries and frameworks.
- Market Intelligence: Retrieve brief summaries regarding specific company news, recent product launches, or industry statistics.
- Fact-Checking: Verify specific claims or gather comparative data on different technologies or services to make informed decisions.
Example Prompts
- "Perform a web search to find the latest stability improvements for the current version of the OpenClaw framework."
- "Can you search for the most recent industry reports on cloud computing growth for 2025 and summarize the key findings?"
- "Look up the current status and documentation for the latest release of the Volcengine API and provide a summary of the new features."
Tips & Limitations
- Be Specific: The quality of the search result depends heavily on the specificity of your query. Avoid vague terms; provide context or keywords to narrow down the search results.
- Output Limits: The tool is designed to return up to 5 items in the summary list. Do not expect exhaustive reports for very broad queries.
- Data Integrity: The skill is strictly designed to summarize retrieved content. It does not synthesize or guess information. If the search returns no results, the agent will inform you accordingly rather than hallucinating details.
- Connectivity: Ensure your host machine has outbound internet access enabled to allow the
web_search.pyscript to reach the Volcengine endpoints successfully.
