2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Perform web searches using a SearXNG instance. Use when the user asks for web search results, current information, news, or wants to find online resources.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

SearXNG Web Search

Instructions

Run the search script with the provided arguments:
```
python <scripts_dir>/search.py --query "<query>" --limit <limit>
```
The script reads the SearXNG URL from skill-config.searxng.url. It also uses skill-config.searxng.timeout when present. Pass --url or --timeout only for explicit overrides.
Parse the JSON output (array of objects with title, url, content fields)
Return the results as a structured list

Output format

Return results like this:

1. **<title>**
   <url>
   <content>

Return only the search results, no additional commentary.

Error handling

If the script exits with an error, report: "Search failed: <error message from stderr>"
