ℹ
Credentials
It reads a Brave API key from plugin config or BRAVE_API_KEY and performs network requests, which is expected for a search provider; custom base URLs are disclosed and validated for protocol and endpoint safety.
✓
Install Mechanism
The package uses the OpenClaw plugin install metadata and bundled dist files; package.json shows no lifecycle scripts, binaries, or install-time command execution.
✓
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to registering the provider and executing searches when the tool is invoked; activation is not on startup and no prompt-injection style instructions were found in the artifact.
ℹ
Persistence & Privilege
The runtime uses SDK search-result caching and optional diagnostics logging of request metadata, but no credential caching, background workers, command execution, or unrelated filesystem access was found.
✓
Purpose & Capability
The package declares and implements a Brave web_search provider that sends user search queries to the Brave Search API or a user-configured Brave-compatible base URL.
Assessment
Install only if you want OpenClaw to use Brave for web searches. Search queries will be sent to Brave or to any custom base URL you configure, and query/result data may be cached by the host search provider SDK; keep the API key private and use custom proxies only when you trust them.

Official Brave Search provider plugin for OpenClaw.

This plugin registers Brave as a web_search provider. It supports normal Brave web search and Brave LLM Context API mode.

Install

openclaw plugins install @openclaw/brave-plugin

Restart the Gateway after installing or updating the plugin.

Configure

Store a Brave Search API key in plugin config or expose BRAVE_API_KEY to the Gateway:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.brave.enabled true
openclaw config set tools.web.search.provider brave

Provider-specific options live under plugins.entries.brave.config.webSearch.*.
