Brave runs its own crawler rather than reselling another engine's results, which is the reason to pick it over a generic search tool. The server splits the surface into separate tools per result type — web, images, videos, news, local businesses and a summariser — so an agent can ask for the shape of answer it needs instead of parsing a mixed page. It runs over stdio or streamable HTTP and takes a Brave Search API key.
