Answers from the documentation; checking which model is on duty
Hi - I answer from the OpenSmartRoute documentation: routing, the API, plans and quotas, self-hosting. Ask away, or open a support ticket if you need a person.
Grounded in the docs - follow a source before acting on it.

Google Search Skill
This skill allows OpenClaw agents to perform web searches via Google's Custom Search API (PSE).
Setup
Google Cloud Console: Create a project and enable the "Custom Search API".
API Key: Generate an API Key.
Search Engine ID (CX): Create a Programmable Search Engine at cse.google.com, and get your CX ID.
Environment: Store your credentials in a .env file in your workspace:
Copy one of these into your project. Installing also returns the manifest and these snippets.
Installed into a catalogue, chosen by a router
Install google-search and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.
A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
When a provider is down or over quota the request moves on; the trace says it did.
# after Install: the listing is in your workspace's routing pool - a plan picks it for its slotcurl-s-X POST https://osr-api.kindrock-caaab1a2.centralindia.azurecontainerapps.io/api/v1/route -H 'Authorization: Bearer $OSR_API_KEY' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"text": "...", "plan": true}'
Manifest
An Open Capability Manifest: the router reads it to know what this does, what it costs and when to pick it.
