OpenClaw + Web search
OpenClaw runs the work loop and Web search performs the selected operation. The Composer below preselects OpenClaw, GPT-5.6 Sol, and this tool so you can test one real task with the same billing and recovery path as any AgentSky run.
How the combination works
OpenClaw decides when to call Web search.
OpenClaw provides an autonomous tool-using loop for browser, shell, file, and application work in a persistent cloud computer.
Use Exa search to find public URLs for a question, and Exa contents to retrieve the text of a known page. A useful research task combines both: discover relevant sources, read the strongest ones, and produce a comparison whose claims link back to those sources.
OpenClaw
Owns the task loop, context, model calls, tool choice, cloud computer, progress and final result.
Web search
Performs the operation exposed by the current Web search capability. Its input limits and output shape come from the live tool guide and adapter.
AgentSky
Keeps the selected agent, model, capability grant, task state and usage record together. Tool charges and model or runtime charges remain itemized separately.
Setup and first task
Start with one bounded web search task.
The Composer carries OpenClaw, GPT-5.6 Sol, and Web search. Begin with the smallest input that lets you inspect the output before expanding the workflow.
Open the OpenClaw Composer
The Composer above preselects OpenClaw, GPT-5.6 Sol, and Web search. Add the target, required inputs and a concrete expected result; the draft stays in place through sign-in.
State the Web search boundary
Find the official documentation for browser-based AI agents. Compare three approaches and cite the pages supporting each claim.
Run and verify the returned result
Check the output against the source or brief, confirm that the result has the expected format, and inspect the task usage for model, runtime and tool charges.
Inputs, cost and limits
What OpenClaw + Web search establishes
Longer-running computer and application workflows that combine browser actions, files, and general automation.
Configure and verify
- OpenClaw and GPT-5.6 Sol are preselected for the browser evaluation.
- Web search is enabled from the current capability catalog with its live input and output guidance.
- The first task can be checked from the returned artifact, text or provider result before a larger workflow is attempted.
Still depends on the task
- A tool guide does not guarantee a provider result for malformed, blocked or unsupported Web search inputs.
- A successful tool call does not establish that the result is correct for your business decision; inspect the output at its source boundary.
- Total task cost can include model tokens, active computer time and the selected tool's billable units.
Current Web search rates
exa.search
$0.01 per run.
exa.contents
$0.002 per page.
Tool-specific details
Use the current Web search contract.
Use Exa search to find public URLs for a question, and Exa contents to retrieve the text of a known page. A useful research task combines both: discover relevant sources, read the strongest ones, and produce a comparison whose claims link back to those sources.
Search input
query is required. limit defaults to 8; the agent catalog accepts 1–20 results.
Page retrieval
Provide one public URL. The current Exa adapter requests page text and returns url, content and provider.
Task example
Research three alternatives to a named product. Return a table of feature differences, supporting page URLs and unresolved questions.
