What it is
Nimrod gives Claude four research tools:
| Tool | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
google_search |
Organic Google results with quality scores, authority ratings, and source-type classification | 1 credit |
extract_webpage_content |
Any URL → clean markdown, boilerplate stripped | free |
extract_multiple_webpages |
Up to 5 URLs, fetched concurrently | free |
research_topic |
Search → rank → dedupe → extract → synthesis, in one call | 1 credit + 1 per focus area |
Why not just let the model search? Because raw search is where agent runs go todie: Nimrod returns ranked evidence instead of SEO sludge, astoken-efficient markdown instead of raw HTML, with deterministic costs(1 credit = 1 search) and date/site/language control.
New accounts start with a free 50-credit trial — no card required.
