Tavily
Default web research stack for agents: fresh search, article reading, broader source discovery.
What it can do
| Method | What it does |
|---|---|
tavily_search | Tavily web search. Provide a natural-language query; returns a list of results with title, url, and snippet. Use this for fresh web research and to gather external sources with links. |
tavily_search_advanced | Tavily advanced web search. Same as tavily_search, but always uses search_depth='advanced' for deeper, higher-quality results. Use this when doing important research where quality matters more than speed. |
tavily_search_with_images | Tavily web search preferring results with images. Same as tavily_search but with include_images=true. Use this when you specifically need pages with rich visual content or illustrations. |
tavily_site_search | Tavily site-specific search. Restricts results to a given domain using a site:example.com style query. Use this when you want to search only within one website (docs, blog, vendor site, and similar). |
tavily_extract | Extract and clean the main text content from a single web page by URL. Returns plain text limited by max_chars. Use this to read articles or documentation pages in detail. |
tavily_crawl | Lightweight Tavily-based crawl: performs a broader search (optionally restricted to a single site) and aggregates multiple results. Use this to collect many URLs and snippets for a topic, then summarize yourself. |
