Tavily Deep Research

Advanced web search and content extraction through SandBase's Tavily integration. Search the web with depth control, extract clean content from URLs, and discover site structures. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

• Use Tavily for current, real-time web information that the model's training data may not cover.
• Cite sources with URLs for every factual claim.
• Use appropriate search depth: basic for quick checks, advanced for thorough research.
• Extract full content only when necessary — search snippets are often sufficient.

Workflow

1. Search the web

Use tavily_search with parameters:

• search_depth: "basic" for quick validation, "advanced" for thorough research
• topic: "general", "news", or "finance" to focus results
• days: limit to recent results (e.g., 7 for past week)
• max_results: 5-20 depending on coverage needs
• include_domains / exclude_domains: filter by source

2. Extract content

Use tavily_extract to get clean, readable content from specific URLs.

• Use when search snippets aren't enough and full article text is needed.
• Works on most public web pages — not paywalled content.

3. Map site structure

Use tavily_map to discover all pages on a website.

• Use for competitor site analysis or content auditing.
• Returns site structure and page list.

Output

Return: search results with source URLs, extracted content summaries, site maps when relevant, and confidence indicators.
