You need to use double brackets to link cards: Crackdown Construct, Vizier of the Menagerie
Vizier of the Menagerie's first ability isn't an activated ability, "only" a static one. Being able to look at the top card of your library is simply true - you can do so whenever you wish to do so.
You can tell apart activated abilities by the colon : character, which seperates the activation cost (on the left) from the ability text (on the right).
