Tools (6)

Tool	What it does
ransack	The main tool. Modes: search, fetch, discover, hosts (7 keyless discovery sources), shop, verify, help. Markdown / JSON / hybrid output. Every result is tagged with the engine that found it.
youtube	Retrieve a YouTube transcript from a video URL or video ID (not a keyword search).
tasks_get	Retrieve the status and result of an asynchronous task started with background=true.
get_report	Retrieve a persisted research report and its citation map by report_id (legacy: reports produced before the research lane was retired 2026-09-20).
search_memory	Semantic recall over previously fetched page chunks (pages, articles, transcripts). Not conversational history.
ransack_permit_search	US government permit lookup by street address (currently Brevard County FL Accela: building permits incl. roofing/fence/pool, status, contractor). Keyless, no browser, no captcha.

ransack

One tool, many modes. search is metasearch across engines; fetch is the primary answer path (paste a URL, get the extracted page); discover and hosts enumerate a domain's assets from certificate transparency, DNS, sitemaps, web archives, crawl indexes, JS routes and scan records; shop returns price and availability; verify checks a claim against its cited sources; help returns the full manual. freshness bypasses the result cache; it does not date-filter.

youtube

Fetch a YouTube transcript from a video URL or video ID.

ransack_permit_search

Search US permit portals by street address. Currently Brevard County FL (Accela Citizen Access), building permits including roofing, fence and pool work types, status and contractor. Keyless and captcha-free.

What you actually get back

• Engine-tagged results. Every search result names the engine that found it, so you can tell Google from an independent index.
• Coverage status, not silence. On hosts, every discovery engine reports ok, empty, timeout or skipped. Found-nothing is never indistinguishable from tried-and-failed.
• Labelled walls. [bot wall: <vendor>] and [dead page: HTTP 404] come back as labels. Pages the server cannot read are reported, not guessed.
• No query rewrites. Ever. The caller owns site selection. Ransack never appends operators to your query or silently changes what you asked for.
• One key, six tools. Search, fetch, discovery, shopping, transcripts and permit records behind a single endpoint.

Honest limitations

• Paywalled and login-walled pages (e.g. some news, GitHub /commits views) can't always be read.
• Retailers that hard-block scraping (Amazon, Walmart) may return nothing rather than guessed data.
• TikTok is searchable and the snippet carries the caption; the video, comments and spoken transcript do not come back.
• search fast-lane results are partial by design; fetch is the primary answer path.
• Labelling is not guaranteed: a wall sometimes comes back as thin page content instead.
