Cli Anything Exa
Skill ActiveAgent-native CLI for Exa web search and content retrieval workflows.
To provide AI agents with a structured and efficient way to perform web searches and retrieve content using the Exa neural search engine.
Features
- Agent-native CLI for Exa API
- Multiple web search modes (fast, deep, deep-reasoning)
- Content retrieval (text, highlights, summary)
- JSON output for machine-readable results
- Configurable search parameters (num-results, freshness, domains, date ranges)
Use Cases
- Performing fast keyword lookups on the web
- Conducting deep research on specific topics
- Discovering academic papers and company intelligence
- Monitoring news and fetching full article content for summarization
Non-Goals
- Replacing the Exa web interface directly
- Performing actions other than search and content retrieval
- Handling user authentication or API key management beyond environment variables
Workflow
- User specifies search query or URL and desired parameters.
- CLI tool constructs and sends API request to Exa.
- Exa API processes the request and returns search results or content.
- CLI tool formats the API response (JSON or human-readable).
- Results are displayed to the user or passed to an AI agent.
Prerequisites
- Python >= 3.10
- pip install cli-anything-exa
- EXA_API_KEY environment variable set
Security
- warning:Secret ManagementThe `EXA_API_KEY` is required via an environment variable, and while the README states to 'export' it, it doesn't explicitly detail how to handle it securely within an agent context, risking accidental exposure if not managed properly.
