description	Use Tavily Search API for bounded deep research retrieval, RAG-ready snippets, and low-cost web search. Use when a workflow needs search grounding, source discovery, or benchmarkable retrieval rather than full report-writing.

Tavily Search

Use this skill for low-cost search/retrieval steps inside a deep research workflow. Tavily is usually a retriever, not a full report-writing agent.

Environment

op run --env-file .env.climbhill -- python .agents/skills/deep-research-tavily/scripts/tavily_search.py \
  --query "deepresearch the deepresearchers" \
  --search-depth basic \
  --max-results 5

Required 1Password-backed variable:

• TAVILY_API_KEY

Cost Controls

• Use basic, fast, or ultra-fast search depth for benchmark tasks.
• Use advanced only when the task explicitly needs deeper retrieval.
• Keep max_results small and avoid raw content unless needed.
