openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Support Xiaomi MiMo native web_search tool type [2 comments, 2 participants]

Feature Request

Summary

Xiaomi MiMo API provides a native web_search tool type that performs web searches at the provider level. Currently, OpenClaw does not pass this tool type when making API calls to the Xiaomi provider, so the feature is unused.

Xiaomi web_search API

The Xiaomi MiMo API supports a special tool type web_search in the tools array:

{
  "tools": [
    {
      "type": "web_search",
      "force_search": true,
      "max_keyword": 5,
      "limit": 10,
      "user_location": {
        "type": "approximate",
        "country": "Spain",
        "region": "Madrid"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Parameters:

• force_search (boolean, default false): Whether to force search or let the model decide
• max_keyword (integer, 1-50, default 5): Max keywords per search
• limit (integer, 1-50, default 5): Max results per search
• user_location (object): Location context for results

Response: The model returns annotations with URL citations (title, url, summary, site_name, publish_time).

Use Case

This would allow the Xiaomi model to perform real-time web searches natively without external APIs (SerpAPI, Serper.dev, etc.), reducing cost and latency for search-dependent workflows like news monitoring and research.

Proposed Implementation

• Add a config option under the Xiaomi provider to enable native web search (e.g. webSearch: true)
• When enabled, OpenClaw passes {"type": "web_search"} in the tools array alongside regular function tools
• Optionally expose force_search, max_keyword, limit, and user_location as configurable parameters
