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.

A Brave Search-backed search provider for the DeepSeek Harness web capability seam (ctx.web): it makes the built-in web_search tool run on Brave's Search Web API instead of the shipped DeepSeek route.

Features

  • Clean snippets - text_decorations defaults to false so snippets stay free of <b> highlight markers.
  • Dates - page_age (ISO 8601) maps to the seam's publishedAt; human-readable age is ignored.
  • Keyed only - Brave has no keyless mode; free tier: 2,000 queries/month at api.search.brave.com.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-web-search-brave

Set your API key in DSH's credential store (recommended) or export it in the environment that starts dsh web:

# ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml
BRAVE_API_KEY: BSA...

Select the provider (the bundle patch does this automatically; to switch manually):

# your profile's cordis.patch.yml
- id: web
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-web'
  config:
    searchProvider: brave
