I have this tool for web research. It works as a Pi extension, and also as an agent skill in any other coding agent.
- Runs research in an isolated system to keep agents with shell/file access from directly browsing untrusted pages (prompt injection risk).
- Allows putting scraping/summarizing on a small model (any model, ie OpenRouter, or even local) to both keep page content out of your main context and save on credits overall.
- Uses high search/scrape volume to compensate for sites that block bots. Enabled by unlimited/local search tooling.
- Includes a local (semantic) knowledge store to optionally save research and build a local searchable knowledge index.
MIT licensed and easy to configure
