You.com Tools
=============================

Demonstrates the YouTools toolkit which exposes the You.com Search API as a
first-class Agno tool.

Set ``YDC_API_KEY`` in your environment before running this example.
Get a key at https://you.com/platform/api-keys.

No API key? You.com also hosts a free MCP profile at
``https://api.you.com/mcp?profile=free`` (``you-search`` with 100 queries/day,
no key or sign-up required). To use it, plug that URL into Agno's MCPTools
instead of YouTools.
