Agents increasingly work with media: finding a reference image, checking what a product looks like, locating a tutorial video, gathering visual sources for a report. Through AgentKey your agent searches images and videos with the same three calls — find_tools, describe_tool, execute_tool — using Google image and video results through Serper or Brave’s own image and video search.

​
What you can ask

  • “Find images of the Shanghai Tower at night.”
  • “Show me product photos of the Sony WH-1000XM6 from the past month.”
  • “Find videos explaining how transformers work, published this week.”
  • “Get 100 images for ‘minimalist logo design’ with safe search on.”
  • “Search for ‘how to fix a bike chain’ videos in German.”
  • “Which videos about AgentKey have appeared in the last 24 hours?”
  • “Page through image results for ‘Art Deco posters’ and keep the ones hosted on museum sites.”

​
What’s covered

Images
  • Google image results by keyword with a country code, interface language, free-text location, result count, page number and time filter
  • Brave image search from its own index with a country and result language, spell correction, and up to 200 images in one call
  • Safe search on Brave images is strict by default and can be turned off
Videos
  • Google video results by keyword with the same country, language, location, count, paging and time-filter controls
  • Brave video search with a freshness filter — the last 24 hours, 7 days, 31 days or 365 days, or a custom date range — an offset for paging, and safe search off, moderate or strict
  • A POST variant of Brave video search for long or multi-line queries
What comes back
  • Each result as the engine serves it: title, the source page URL and a thumbnail, with whatever media URL or embed reference the engine attaches
  • Results are links and metadata, not downloaded files

​
How to use it

Pass the request in plain language and let the router pick the engine:
Always describe_tool before executing — Google results use gl / hl and tbs, Brave uses country / search_lang and freshness, and per-call costs differ.
Building with code? Image and video search are available through the catalog tools above. The fixed-contract web.search Scenario Method covers web and news results today; see Scenario Methods for the full list.

FAQ

Google results take any Google country and interface-language code plus a free-text location. Brave takes its own country and result-language codes. Queries can be written in any language.
Every call goes to the engine at request time. Google results accept a past-hour to past-year time filter; Brave video search accepts a freshness window or a custom date range.
No. Results are URLs and metadata. To read the page a result points to, pass the URL to a scrape tool.
