Search Engine

Full-text and semantic search for AI agents — query, index, vector search, autocomplete, ranking debug, synonym management, and search analytics.

What this skill teaches

A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.

An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.

Orchestrate search operations — full-text search, vector/semantic search, autocomplete, index management, synonym configuration, and search analytics. Use when searching documents, building search indexes, running semantic queries, managing synonyms, analyzing search performance, or debugging ranking.

Architecture

How Search Engine guides an ADK-Rust agent.

The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.

01

User request

The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.

02

Search Engine skill

Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.

03

ADK-Rust agent

Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.

04

mcp-search

Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.

05

Verified result

The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.

Decision guide

How the agent turns a request into the right action.

These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

01

"search", "find", "query"?

search (full-text) or semantic_search (meaning)

02

"similar", "like this", "related"?

find_similar / query_vectors

03

"autocomplete", "suggest"?

suggest

04

"index", "add document", "ingest"?

index_document / upsert_vectors

05

"create index", "schema"?

create_index

06

"why ranked", "explain", "debug"?

explain_ranking / test_query

07

"analytics", "performance", "zero results"?

get_search_analytics

08

"synonyms"?

get_synonyms / update_synonyms

Proven workflows

Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.

A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

Tool boundary

The skill may use 20 documented tools.

This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-search retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules

What the agent should do.

  • Use semantic_search when user intent matters more than exact keywords
  • Check get_search_analytics regularly for zero-result queries
  • Add synonyms for common terms that return no results
  • Use explain_ranking to debug unexpected ordering

Operating boundaries

What the agent should avoid.

  • Don't use full-text search for vague/conceptual queries (use semantic)
  • Don't index without specifying searchable fields
  • Don't ignore zero-result queries (they indicate gaps)

Install and connect

Add the skill beside the capability it expects.

Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-search, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.

Install the skill
