Pi package for web search via Tavily API.

What it adds

• web_search tool — Search the web using Tavily API. Returns relevant results with summaries and source URLs.
• /web-search-status — Show package name, version, source path, and API key status.

Prerequisites

• A Tavily API key set as the TAVILY_API_KEY environment variable.

export TAVILY_API_KEY='your-key'

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:@davehardy20/pi-web-search

From git:

pi install git:github.com/davehardy20/pi-web-search

From a local checkout during development:

pi install /Users/dave/tools/pi-web-search

For one run only:

pi -e /Users/dave/tools/pi-web-search

Notes

• Requires TAVILY_API_KEY to be set in the environment. The tool returns a clear error if the key is missing.
• If the web_search tool appears twice, Pi is probably loading both this package and the old local agent/extensions/web-search.ts file.
• Disable or remove the old local auto-discovered extension before reload verification.

Update flow

1. update the package repo
2. push to GitHub
3. run pi update --extensions or reinstall the package
4. run /reload

/reload alone does not fetch newer package commits.

Troubleshooting

Run /web-search-status to confirm:

• package name
• package version
• loaded source path
• Tavily API key status (set/not set)
