Release Notes - v2.8.0 🚀

Token Optimization

This release focuses on reducing token consumption for AI agents, making interactions more efficient and cost-effective.

Changes

Search Engine Improvements

  • Switched web search results to parsed_light format for leaner responses
  • Cleaned up search payloads to return only essential fields (link, title, description)
  • Removed unnecessary fields like images, pagination, related, and ai_overview from search results

Markdown Minification

  • Added markdown stripping for scrape_as_markdown responses using remark and strip-markdown
  • Preserves essential elements (links, code blocks) while removing formatting overhead
  • Achieves 30-60% reduction in tool response tokens

Data Sanitization

  • Removed null values from dataset API responses to reduce payload size

New Dependencies

  • remark: ^15.0.1
  • strip-markdown: ^6.0.0
