Lets the Pi coding agent hand scouting, research, implementation and review to focused child agents.
Pi Web Access
nicopreme · Agent
Pi Web Access adds web research to the Pi coding agent: searching the web, fetching URLs, extracting PDFs, and answering questions about YouTube videos or local screen recordings with transcripts, visual descriptions and frames at exact timestamps. GitHub URLs are cloned locally so the agent gets real files rather than rendered pages. Other search providers can be added with their own API keys, and a self-hosted SearXNG is tried first for private search.
Written by ooruby from the README of pi-web-access 0.38.0.
Not claimed by its maker. Is this yours? Prove it and answer the findings
Why it's useful
Your coding agent can look up pages, read PDFs and examine videos itself instead of relying on what you paste in.
What you could do with it
- Ask the agent to search the web and fetch the pages it finds for the answer.
- Point it at a YouTube video and ask what is on screen at a given timestamp.
- Give a GitHub repository address and let the agent explore a local clone instead of scraped pages.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Command execution is bounded
- inventory
- node child_process (chrome-cookies.ts:1)
- node child_process (credential-source.ts:1)
- node child_process (github-api.ts:1)
- node child_process (github-extract.ts:3)
- An inventory of where the code starts another program, not a verdict on this row: whether each one runs a fixed program or whatever it is handed takes a reading by hand.
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.38.0, the file with digest sha512-8AHja5tlOoGlrtmOsB+zy/MpMeE/fdXQd4UDDs7yg6viaElmNOyNJjNUj+LrgMgMA78ct8xLEKlAI7l9rC8DIw==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y pi-web-access@0.38.0Pinned to 0.38.0, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
