README

pi-openai-search

A small pi extension that adds OpenAI's native web_search tool to OpenAI Responses requests.

What it does

When the active model uses openai-responses or openai-codex-responses, the extension patches the outgoing provider payload to include:

  • the built-in OpenAI web_search tool
  • response includes for web search results and sources

For all other model providers, it does nothing.

What it doesn't do

Since the web_search tool is server-side/hosted by OpenAI, a tool call message is NOT shown in the Pi TUI.

Pi currently has no (easy) way of handling OpenAI's custom web_search_call event type.

Install

pi install npm:@rejot-dev/pi-openai-search

For local development:

pi -e ./packages/pi-openai-search/index.ts
