This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-web-search-tokenrhythm

![npm version](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dsh-web-search-tokenrhythm) ![license](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dsh-web-search-tokenrhythm)

A web-search provider for DeepSeek Harness that turns the built-in web_search tool into real searches through the Token Rhythm (基元律动) gateway's OpenAI Responses API (web_search tool). No extra account, no new API key — it reuses the key you already store for chat.

Quick start (3 steps)

Run these inside your dsh profile directory (e.g. %USERPROFILE%\.dsh\profiles\web):

# 1. Install the package
pnpm add dsh-web-search-tokenrhythm
// 2. Register the bundle in profiles/web/package.json
"dsh": {
  "profile": {
    "bundles": [
      "@deepseek-ai/dsh-base",
      "@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app",
      "dsh-web-search-tokenrhythm"   // ← add this line
    ]
  }
}
# 3. Restart dsh web

That's it. The bundle mounts the provider and switches web_search to it automatically — no cordis.patch.yml editing required.

Prerequisites

  • Your gateway must support the OpenAI Responses API with the native web_search tool. Token Rhythm does (deepseek-v4-flash-0731, which declares webSearch: true). Other gateways: check their model metadata before switching.
  • Store an API key so the provider can authenticate. The default credential reference is DEEPSEEK_API_KEY — save it through the web UI (Settings → Models) or your credentials file. Point the provider at another reference with apiKeyEnv if you prefer.

Verify it works

In any chat, ask: “帮我搜一下 XXX” or “search the web for XXX”. The response will include real source links.

Configuration

KeyDefaultMeaning
apiKeyEnvDEEPSEEK_API_KEYCredential reference resolved for each search.
baseURLhttps://tokenrhythm.studio/v1OpenAI-compatible endpoint base; /responses is appended.
modeldeepseek-v4-flash-0731Search model; must declare webSearch: true on your gateway.
maxTokens2048Upper bound on generated answer tokens.
maxRetries2Retries for transient gateway 503 responses.

Switching to another gateway

Override the row from your own profile cordis.patch.yml (later layers win):

- id: web-search-tokenrhythm
  name: dsh-web-search-tokenrhythm
  config:
    apiKeyEnv: MY_GATEWAY_API_KEY
    baseURL: https://my-gateway.example/v1
    model: my-web-search-model

Or edit the web-search-tokenrhythm section in the GUI Settings page — it takes effect on the next search without a restart.

Not using a gateway with web_search?

This provider cannot help. Install a different search backend instead (e.g. @deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-exa or @deepseek-ai/dsh-web-search-perplexity) and set searchProvider to its id.

Troubleshooting

SymptomCause / Fix
WEB_PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_MISSINGNo key for apiKeyEnv. Save it in Settings → Models or set apiKeyEnv to a reference you have.
tools.0.input_schema 类型错误 / invalid tool typeThe gateway does not support the web_search tool. Switch gateway or provider.
SERVICE_BUSY (HTTP 503)Gateway overloaded; retried automatically up to maxRetries. Retry the search later if it still fails.
Search works but sources have no titlesExpected: this gateway returns opened-page URLs plus a generated answer; no structured title/snippet.

How it works

One search issues a full Responses model call with tools: [{ type: 'web_search' }]. The gateway runs server-side retrieval; the model may open several pages (web_search_call items). The provider:

  • collects opened-page URLs as citeable sources[] (deduplicated, #ws_call_id= tracking fragments stripped);
  • takes the model's final_answer text as content;
  • retries transient 503 responses.

Failures surface as WEB_PROVIDER_ERROR; caller cancellation as WEB_ABORTED. MIT licensed.

Development

# Build (TypeScript → lib/)
pnpm exec tsc -b .

# Test (Vitest, 16 cases)
pnpm exec vitest run tests/provider.spec.ts

# Package
npm pack

The package follows the DeepSeek Harness plugin conventions: a Cordis plugin exporting name / inject / apply / Config, plus a bundle patch (cordis.patch.yml) that mounts itself when the package is listed in a profile's dsh.profile.bundles.
