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.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Web Search Advanced - Personal Site Category
Tool Restriction (Critical)
ONLY use web_search_advanced_exa with category: "personal site". Do NOT use other categories or tools.
Full Filter Support
The personal site category supports ALL available parameters:
Core
query(required)numResultstype("auto", "fast", "deep", "neural")
Domain filtering
includeDomainsexcludeDomains(e.g., exclude Medium if you want independent blogs)
Date filtering (ISO 8601)
startPublishedDate/endPublishedDatestartCrawlDate/endCrawlDate
Text filtering
includeText(must contain ALL)excludeText(exclude if ANY match)
Array size restriction: includeText and excludeText only support single-item arrays. Multi-item arrays (2+ items) cause 400 errors. To match multiple terms, put them in the query string or run separate searches.

Token Isolation (Critical)
Never run Exa searches in main context. Always spawn Task agents:
- Agent calls
web_search_advanced_exawithcategory: "personal site" - Agent merges + deduplicates results before presenting
- Agent returns distilled output (brief markdown or compact JSON)
- Main context stays clean regardless of search volume
When to Use
Use this category when you need:
- Individual expert opinions and experiences
- Personal blog posts on technical topics
- Portfolio websites
- Independent analysis (not corporate content)
