Frequently asked questions

Built-in search is convenient for prototypes, but it ties retrieval to one provider and gives teams limited control over how agents search. Tavily provides an independent web search API with configurable sources, freshness, depth, and result volume.

Tavily ranks results and extracts focused passages, so models process less irrelevant content. Teams can also control when agents search and how much they retrieve, helping balance answer quality, latency, and cost for each workflow.

Yes. Tavily keeps web retrieval separate from the model, allowing teams to reuse the same search integration and controls across models and cloud platforms. You can switch models without rebuilding how your agents access the web.

Yes. Tavily supports production workloads with custom rate limits, enterprise SLAs, dedicated support, and security controls including Zero Data Retention, prompt-injection protection, PII filtering, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
