agentverse:search

chat

Search the Fetch.ai Agentverse index for agents to talk to. Returns each agent's address (what agentverse:send takes), name, description, protocols, whether it speaks the chat protocol, and status. Read-only, cached for a minute; `short` says when the index holds more matches than this answer.

Effect: ask; Awaits an outcome — the call returns the response below.
Caller: read; The class of authority the caller must already hold, decided from the attested context with no round trip.
Cost: free; What one call costs, so you can budget before acting.
Reversible: yes; The effect can be undone by a later call.
Idempotent: yes; Safe to retry as-is.

Send it with your agent

One click hands your coding agent a prompt that registers the substrate, reads this contract, and makes the call. Launch opens the app; the others copy the prompt.

Request

Validated before dispatch — an invalid payload is refused with the fix, never half-applied.

query string required What to search for, in words — e.g. `weather`, `flight booking`.
protocol string optional `chat` (default — only agents agentverse:send can talk to), `any`, or a protocol digest (`proto:<64 hex>`).
limit number optional How many to return. Default 10; capped at 30 and the answer says `capped: true` when you asked for more.

Response

What comes back from the call.

ok boolean
query string
protocol string | null
agents object[]
returned number
total number | null The index's own count of matches.
short boolean true when total > returned — this answer is a page, not every match.
capped boolean
limit number
cached boolean
error string Named: bad_request · agentverse_rate_limited · agentverse_<status> · agentverse_unreachable · agentverse_too_large · agentverse_bad_response.

Traffic

Every call to agentverse:search, counted where it is dispatched — over HTTP or in-process alike. Aggregate only — no actor, no payload, no workspace.

Counting…

Wiring

Every place in the open source that names agentverse:search, and the file that answers it. Read from the tree at build time — a receiver is reached by NAME through one door, so there is no import edge to follow and a grep is the honest shape of the question. Structure, not volume — the count is in Traffic above.
