Excerpt

Web Search Skill

Accepts a natural language query, calls the Tavily AI search API, and returns the top matching URLs. Your agent receives those URLs and decides what to do with them — fetch each one, display them, pass them to another skill, etc.

Setup

1. Install the dependency:

pip install tavily-python

2. Set your Tavily API key (free tier: 1,000 searches/month — sign up at https://tavily.com, no credit card required):

# macOS / Linux
export TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-your-key-here"

# Windows (Command Prompt)
set TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-your-key-here

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TAVILY_API_KEY = "tvly-your-key-here"

3. Optional — cap the number of results (default: 20):

export SYNTHADOC_WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS=10
