pi-google-google-search

Google native search extension for the pi coding agent.

This package is the standalone extraction of senpi's former builtin google-google-search extension.

Behavior

The extension does not register a new tool. It intercepts Google provider requests before they are sent and ensures a native googleSearch tool is present for google-generative-ai / google-vertex payloads when Google search is enabled (default-on).

Case	Result
API is google-generative-ai or google-vertex, PI_GOOGLE_GOOGLE_SEARCH is unset/empty/truthy, and no Tool object has a googleSearch key	injects a new Tool entry { googleSearch: {} }
Existing Tool object already has googleSearch key (any value)	preserves caller payload without duplication or overwrite
Existing Tool object has only functionDeclarations	keeps that object and adds separate { googleSearch: {} } entry
PI_GOOGLE_GOOGLE_SEARCH is falsy (0, false, no, off)	no-op
API is non-Google	no-op

Truthy values for PI_GOOGLE_GOOGLE_SEARCH are: 1, true, yes, on (case-insensitive, surrounding whitespace allowed). Unknown values fall back to enabled to preserve default-on behavior.

It also appends a system-prompt section for Google sessions indicating native google_search availability when enabled.

Installation

The package targets the pi coding agent. Pi loads extensions from ~/.pi/agent/extensions/, project .pi/extensions/, or via the --extension / -e CLI flag.

# From npm (once published)
pi install npm:pi-google-google-search

# From git
pi install git:github.com/code-yeongyu/pi-google-google-search

# Manual placement
git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/pi-google-google-search ~/.pi/agent/extensions/pi-google-google-search
cd ~/.pi/agent/extensions/pi-google-google-search && npm install

# Dev / one-shot test
pi -e /path/to/pi-google-google-search/src/index.ts

After installation, restart pi or run /reload inside an interactive session.

Development

npm install
npm test
npm run typecheck
npm run check
pi -e ./src/index.ts

The test suite uses vitest. TypeScript is strict, Node-only, and uses ESM imports with .js suffixes.

Origin

Ported from packages/coding-agent/src/core/extensions/builtin/google-google-search/index.ts in the senpi-mono fork of pi-mono.
