What can ModuleX do with Tavily Search?

A ModuleX agent can run any of Tavily Search's 3 actions, across web searches, answer searches and news searches, from a plain-English request, using your organization's own Tavily Search credentials.

Does the Tavily Search integration need a pre-built workflow?

No. The agent selects the right Tavily Search action from your prompt. A workflow is only needed when you want a repeatable process, and the composer builds that for you from a description.

How does ModuleX authenticate with Tavily Search?

Via your own Tavily Search API key, stored encrypted and scoped to your organization.

How many Tavily Search actions are available?

3, spanning web searches, answer searches and news searches.

Is Tavily Search free to use in ModuleX?

Tavily Search runs on your own credentials, so any Tavily Search usage is billed by Tavily Search directly. ModuleX meters the agent run, and if you connect your own model keys there's no ModuleX markup on model usage.
