# Search a workspace's artifacts

> Search the artifacts in a workspace that you can open, by words and by meaning: each hit is the artifact with the passage that matched (snippet, and the heading it is under), its space_name and edited_at.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/artifacts/search</code></div>

Narrow with kind, space, project and limit (at most 50). Only what you can read now is found.

Matches words and meaning, and is checked again against who can read each artifact now: one shared with you a minute ago is found, one taken away is not.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`artifact`](/reference/mcp/#artifact) with `action` `search`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`artifacts:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
