Tavily Tools

When to use which tool

NeedToolWhen
Quick web searchweb_searchBasic queries, no special options needed
Search with advanced optionstavily_searchNeed depth, topic, domain filters, time ranges, or AI answers
Extract content from URLstavily_extractHave specific URLs, need their content

web_search

Tavily powers this automatically when selected as the search provider. Use for straightforward queries where you don't need Tavily-specific options.

ParameterDescription
querySearch query string
countNumber of results (1-20)

tavily_search

Use when you need fine-grained control over search behavior.

ParameterDescription
querySearch query string (keep under 400 characters)
search_depthbasic (default, balanced) or advanced (highest relevance, slower)
topicgeneral (default), news (real-time updates), or finance
max_resultsNumber of results, 1-20 (default: 5)
include_answerInclude an AI-generated answer summary (default: false)
time_rangeFilter by recency: day, week, month, or year
include_domainsArray of domains to restrict results to
exclude_domainsArray of domains to exclude from results

Search depth

DepthSpeedRelevanceBest for
basicFasterHighGeneral-purpose queries (default)
advancedSlowerHighestPrecision, specific facts, detailed research

Tips

  • Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
  • Use include_domains to focus on trusted sources.
  • Use time_range for recent information (news, current events).
  • Use include_answer when you need a quick synthesized answer.

tavily_extract

Use when you have specific URLs and need their content. Handles JavaScript-rendered pages and returns clean markdown. Supports query-focused chunking for targeted extraction.

ParameterDescription
urlsArray of URLs to extract (1-20 per request)
queryRerank extracted chunks by relevance to this query
extract_depthbasic (default, fast) or advanced (for JS-heavy pages, tables)
chunks_per_sourceChunks per URL, 1-5 (requires query)
include_imagesInclude image URLs in results (default: false)

Extract depth

DepthWhen to use
basicSimple pages — try this first
advancedJS-rendered SPAs, dynamic content, tables, embedded content

Tips

  • Max 20 URLs per request — batch larger lists into multiple calls.
  • Use query + chunks_per_source to get only relevant content instead of full pages.
  • Try basic first, fall back to advanced if content is missing or incomplete.
  • If tavily_search results already contain the snippets you need, skip the extract step.

Choosing the right workflow

Follow this escalation pattern — start simple, escalate only when needed:

  1. web_search — Quick lookup, no special options needed.
  2. tavily_search — Need depth control, topic filtering, domain filters, time ranges, or AI answers.
  3. tavily_extract — Have specific URLs, need their full content or targeted chunks.

Combine search + extract when you need to find pages first, then get their full content.
