tavily-agent-toolkit 0.1.0

A collection of tools and agents for building AI applications with Tavily

Tavily Agent Toolkit

Build production-grade research agents with patterns we've battle-tested across customer deployments and our deep research endpoint.

What This Library Provides

Tools — Optimized configurations of Tavily API calls for common research patterns. We handle the context engineering (formatting, deduplication, token management, summarization) so your agent gets clean, relevant data.

Bring Your Own Model — Every tool that needs an LLM accepts a ModelConfig. We support 20+ providers via LangChain with automatic fallback chains. You control the model, we bring our prompts and context engineering strategies.

Agents — Pre-built research strategies that combine internal knowledge with web research. Two modes: fast or deep multi-agent research.

Tools

Research primitives that combine Tavily endpoints with context engineering. Each tool handles a specific retrieval pattern so your agent can focus on reasoning while we handle the complexity of getting clean, relevant data.

Tool	Use Case
search_and_answer	Answer questions with web research + LLM synthesis
search_dedup	Run multiple queries in parallel, deduplicate results
crawl_and_summarize	Extract and summarize entire websites
extract_and_summarize	Get focused summaries from specific URLs
social_media_search	Search Reddit, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.

Example: Answer a question with comprehensive web research

pip install tavily-agent-toolkit

from tavily_agent_toolkit import social_media_search, ModelConfig, ModelObject

result = social_media_search(
    query="Who is Leo Messi?",
    api_key="tvly-xxx",
)
print(result["result"])

📖 See tools/README.md for detailed documentation, parameters, and examples.

Agents

hybrid_research

Use case: Combine your internal knowledge base with real-time web research.

You provide a RAG function that queries your internal data. The agent identifies gaps and fills them with web research.

Fast mode:

1. Query your internal RAG
2. Generate subqueries based on what's missing
3. Parallel web search with deduplication
4. Synthesize everything into a report

Multi-agent mode:

1. Query your internal RAG
2. LLM identifies knowledge gaps
3. Tavily's deep research endpoint fills those gaps
4. Synthesize into a comprehensive report

from tavily_agent_toolkit import hybrid_research, ModelConfig, ModelObject

result = await hybrid_research(
    api_key="tvly-xxx",
    query="What is our competitor's pricing strategy?",
    model_config=ModelConfig(model=ModelObject(model="groq:openai/gpt-oss-120b")),
    internal_rag_function=my_rag_function,  # Your RAG
    mode="fast",  # or "multi_agent" for deep research
    output_schema=CompetitorAnalysis,  # Optional structured output
)

📖 See agents/README.MD for full documentation.

Utilities

Helper functions that power the tools and agents. A few are reusable on their own: handle_research_stream, clean_raw_content, format_web_results, and ainvoke_with_fallback for model cascades.

📖 See utilities/README.md for details.

Use Cases

Production-ready agent implementations demonstrating practical applications. Each example combines multiple Tavily tools with LLM agents to solve real-world problems.

Use Case	Description
Conversational Chatbot	Routes between quick search and deep research based on query complexity
Company Intelligence Agent	Crawls websites and searches the web for comprehensive company research
Social Media Research Agent	Searches across TikTok, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and more

Available in both Anthropic SDK and LangGraph implementations, plus Jupyter notebooks for quick experimentation.

📖 See use-cases/readme.md for full documentation and examples.

LLM Providers

For LLM features, install your preferred provider:

pip install langchain-openai       # OpenAI
pip install langchain-anthropic    # Anthropic  
pip install langchain-google-genai # Google
pip install langchain-groq         # Groq
# See models.py for all 20+ supported providers

Model Configuration

All tools accept a ModelConfig for LLM operations. Use the "provider:model" format:

from models import ModelConfig, ModelObject

config = ModelConfig(
    model=ModelObject(model="openai:gpt-5.2"),
    fallback_models=[  # Optional fallback chain
        ModelObject(model="anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-20250514"),
        ModelObject(model="groq:llama-3.3-70b-versatile"),
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
)

20+ providers supported via LangChain's init_chat_model: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, Cohere, Together, Fireworks, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and more.

Tests

The tests/ directory contains integration tests for all tools and agents. These tests are a great way to see what the tools look like when they run and understand expected inputs/outputs. With AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor getting better, test-driven development is more accessible and fast than ever—use these as a starting point.
