Brave Search

Brave Search provides privacy-focused web search with an independent index. The BraveSearchTool integrates Brave's Web Search API into Synaptic agents.

Setup

[dependencies]
synaptic = { version = "0.4", features = ["tools"] }

Get an API key from brave.com/search/api.

Usage

use synaptic::tools::BraveSearchTool;
use synaptic::core::Tool;
use serde_json::json;

let tool = BraveSearchTool::new("your-api-key")
    .with_max_results(5);

let result = tool.call(json!({"query": "Rust async runtime comparison"})).await?;
println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result)?);

With Agent

use synaptic::tools::{BraveSearchTool, ToolRegistry};
use std::sync::Arc;

let registry = ToolRegistry::new();
registry.register(Arc::new(BraveSearchTool::new("your-api-key")))?;

Configuration

Notes

• Results include title, URL, and description for each web result.
• The Brave Search API has both free and paid tiers. Check brave.com/search/api for rate limits.
• Brave Search maintains an independent index, making it a good alternative to Google for privacy-conscious deployments.
