Perform internet searches using the Zhipu AI web search API to retrieve real-time information, news, and current data.

Introduction

The Minimax-TTS skill (Zhipu Web Search) provides an interface for AI agents to query the internet in real-time using the Zhipu open platform. This tool is designed for users and developers who require up-to-the-minute information, such as late-breaking news, current technical documentation, or broad market data that static LLM training data cannot provide. By leveraging the glm-4-flash model integration, the skill ensures that search results are contextualized and summarized, reducing the need for manual browsing.

  • Real-time internet access via official Zhipu PaaS API endpoints.

  • Automated query formatting using JSON-based tool-calling structures.

  • Integrated security measures including query length validation and sanitization using jq.

  • HTTPS-secured communication ensuring data integrity and privacy during transmission.

  • Generic error handling to prevent sensitive path or configuration leaks.

  • Set the MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable before execution to authenticate requests.

  • Intended for use in scenarios where the user asks for 'latest news', 'search for', or 'look up information'.

  • Optimized for performance with a 30-second curl timeout to prevent hanging processes.

  • Operates best when the environment is configured with sufficient permissions to execute shell scripts.

  • Users should be aware that environment variables may be visible in process lists (ps aux) in non-trusted environments.

  • The tool is strictly intended for official Zhipu endpoints and requires a valid API key obtained from the BigModel platform.
