The Search category gives your agent fresh web results — the live data a base model can’t reach. Six engines sit behind it. Each is a separate Provider/Operation with its own parameters, so discover with find_tools, read the parameters with describe_tool, then execute_tool the one you chose.

Providers

Tool names follow the engine: Brave/getWebSearch, Serper/searchNews, Tavily/post_search, Exa/search. The per-call cost is shown by describe_tool.
Building with code? Developers and enterprise integrations can call this category through Scenario Methods: fixed REST contracts with a stable schema, a fixed price and automatic provider failover. The methods are listed by platform in the API Reference sidebar.

execute_tool calls exactly the tool you name — there is no automatic failover in the catalog. If an engine is down, pick another from the find_tools result, or use web.search, which fails over for you.
