|
||||
|
||||
The `TavilyResearchTool` lets CrewAI agents kick off Tavily research tasks, returning a synthesized, cited report (or a stream of progress events) instead of raw search results. Use it when an agent needs an investigative answer rather than a single web search.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To use the `TavilyResearchTool`, install the `tavily-python` library alongside `crewai-tools`:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
uv add 'crewai[tools]' tavily-python
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Set your Tavily API key:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export TAVILY_API_KEY='your_tavily_api_key'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get an API key at [https://app.tavily.com/](https://app.tavily.com/) (sign up, then create a key).
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import os
|
||||
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
|
||||
from crewai_tools import TavilyResearchTool
|
||||
|
||||
# Ensure TAVILY_API_KEY is set in your environment
|
||||
# os.environ["TAVILY_API_KEY"] = "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
||||
|
||||
tavily_tool = TavilyResearchTool()
|
||||
|
||||
researcher = Agent(
|
||||
role="Research Analyst",
|
||||
goal="Investigate questions and produce concise, well-cited briefings.",
|
||||
backstory=(
|
||||
"You are a meticulous analyst who delegates web research to the Tavily "
|
||||
"Research tool, then synthesizes the findings into short briefings."
|
||||
),
|
||||
tools=[tavily_tool],
|
||||
verbose=True,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
research_task = Task(
|
||||
description=(
|
||||
"Investigate notable open-source agent orchestration frameworks released "
|
||||
"in the last six months and summarize their differentiators."
|
||||
),
|
||||
expected_output="A bulleted briefing with citations.",
|
||||
agent=researcher,
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
crew = Crew(agents=[researcher], tasks=[research_task])
|
||||
print(crew.kickoff())
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Options
|
||||
|
||||
The `TavilyResearchTool` accepts the following arguments — all can be set on the tool instance (defaults for every call) or per-call via the agent's tool input:
|
||||
|
||||
- `input` (str): **Required.** The research task or question to investigate.
|
||||
- `model` (Literal["mini", "pro", "auto"]): The Tavily research model. `"auto"` lets Tavily pick; `"mini"` is faster/cheaper; `"pro"` is the most capable. Defaults to `"auto"`.
|
||||
- `output_schema` (dict | None): Optional JSON Schema that structures the research output. Useful when you want strictly typed results.
|
||||
- `stream` (bool): When `True`, the tool returns an iterator of SSE chunks emitting research progress and the final result instead of a single string. Defaults to `False`.
|
||||
- `citation_format` (Literal["numbered", "mla", "apa", "chicago"]): Citation format for the report. Defaults to `"numbered"`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure defaults on the tool instance
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai_tools import TavilyResearchTool
|
||||
|
||||
tavily_tool = TavilyResearchTool(
|
||||
model="pro", # use Tavily's most capable research model
|
||||
citation_format="apa", # APA-style citations
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Stream research progress
|
||||
|
||||
When `stream=True`, the tool returns a generator (or async generator from `_arun`) of SSE chunks so your application can surface incremental progress:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
tavily_tool = TavilyResearchTool(stream=True)
|
||||
|
||||
for chunk in tavily_tool.run(input="Summarize recent advances in retrieval-augmented generation."):
|
||||
print(chunk)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Structured output via JSON Schema
|
||||
|
||||
Pass an `output_schema` when you need a typed result instead of a free-form report:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
output_schema = {
|
||||
"type": "object",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"summary": {"type": "string"},
|
||||
"key_points": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
|
||||
"sources": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
|
||||
},
|
||||
"required": ["summary", "key_points", "sources"],
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
tavily_tool = TavilyResearchTool(output_schema=output_schema)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **End-to-end research**: Returns a synthesized, cited report rather than raw search hits.
|
||||
- **Model selection**: Trade off cost, speed, and depth via `mini`, `pro`, or `auto`.
|
||||
- **Streaming**: Stream incremental progress and results as SSE chunks for responsive UIs.
|
||||
- **Structured output**: Coerce results to a JSON Schema you define.
|
||||
- **Multiple citation styles**: Choose from numbered, MLA, APA, or Chicago citations.
|
||||
- **Sync and async**: Use either `_run` or `_arun` depending on your application's runtime.
