# Kimi Web Search

> Add Kimi Web Search to an agent that uses a Moonshot (Kimi) model

**Kimi Web Search** gives your agent real-time web search when using a Kimi (Moonshot) agent model in the Fetch Hive editor.

## What it does

This tool lets a Kimi-powered agent search the web when you add **Kimi Web Search** to the agent. Search only runs when the tool is enabled. Results are encrypted by Kimi so only the model can read them. Traces show that the search completed, but not the result list. The tool is available only with Moonshot models such as `kimi-k3` and `kimi-k2.6`.

## Adding the tool to an agent

1. Open an agent that uses a Kimi (Moonshot) model.
2. Click the button with the tooltip **Add MCP Tool or Sub Agent**.
3. In **MCP Tools**, click **Kimi Web Search**.

The tool has no configuration fields. The model supplies only the search query.

## Billing

Kimi Web Search is billed as a hosted LLM tool completion (similar to Sonar Web Search and Anthropic Web Search), not against the provider-tool daily cap used by SERP API or Google Search. Each successful search costs a fixed web-search call fee plus the tokens used to read the search results.
