**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `X_API_KEY`, `X_API_KEY`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Tools (2)

- `google_maps_search`: Businesses and places from Google Maps, 20 per page: name, type, rating and review count, price, address, phone, hours, website, coordinates and place_id. Put the place in the query ("plumber in denver co") or pass ll. Each page is one billed search.
- `google_search`: Real-time Google web results: title, URL, date and snippet for each result, plus the AI Overview, answer box, knowledge panel, local pack, ads and "People also ask" when Google shows them. Question-style queries ("how do I...", "what is...") usually get an AI Overview. Each page read is one billed search, so use pages=1 unless you need more. Usually 2-6 s per page.
