Summary

Adds Tavily as a configurable search engine option in the deep_research project, alongside the existing EXA, SERPAPI, and ARXIV engines. This is an additive (parallel) change — no existing functionality is modified.

Changes

projects/deep_research/conf.yaml

  • Updated header comment to list TAVILY as a supported engine value
  • Added commented-out SEARCH_ENGINE block for tavily engine with tavily_api_key: $TAVILY_API_KEY, matching the style of existing exa/serpapi blocks

projects/deep_research/.env.example

  • Added TAVILY_API_KEY=xxx placeholder alongside existing EXA_API_KEY and SERPAPI_API_KEY entries

Environment variable changes

  • Added TAVILY_API_KEY reference in .env.example

Notes for reviewers

  • This is a config-only change; no source code or dependencies are modified.
  • Depends on the core-search-framework migration unit to add runtime support for the tavily engine type in get_web_search_tool().
  • Users can enable Tavily by uncommenting the tavily SEARCH_ENGINE block and commenting out the active arxiv block.

Automated Review

  • Passed after 3 attempt(s)
  • Final review: The Tavily migration for deep-research-v1-config is functionally correct and complete. All three previously identified critical/major issues have been properly addressed: TavilySearchRequestGenerator is implemented with all required methods, websearch_tool.py fully integrates Tavily into the engine registry and connect() lifecycle, and published_date is propagated through TavilySearchResult.to_list(). The Tavily SDK is used correctly (max_results mapping, TavilyClient instantiation, dict-based response handling). Dependencies, env vars, and config documentation are all present. Only minor inconsistencies remain — none of which block approval.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request integrates Tavily as a new search engine into the deep_research project. This additive change provides users with an additional powerful web search option, complementing the existing engines without altering their functionality. The integration involved updating core search components, adding Tavily-specific logic, and modifying configuration files to enable its use.

Highlights

  • New Search Engine Integration: Tavily has been added as a new search engine option, expanding the capabilities of the deep_research project.
  • Configuration Updates: The deep_research project's configuration files (conf.yaml and .env.example) were updated to support Tavily, including a new API key placeholder and a commented-out configuration block.
  • Core Search Framework Extension: The core search framework was extended to include Tavily, involving updates to search engine types, request generators, and the web search tool.
  • New Tavily Module: Dedicated Python files were introduced for Tavily, defining its search request/result schemas and the search engine implementation.

Code Review

This pull request introduces support for the Tavily search engine, integrating it into the existing search framework. This includes defining new data structures for Tavily requests and results, implementing the Tavily search logic, and updating various modules to recognize and utilize Tavily. Review feedback highlights a critical bug where the 'research_goal' field, though required by the schema, is incorrectly filtered out during request generation, and suggests adding it to the 'TavilySearchRequest' dataclass. Additionally, several comments recommend replacing 'print()' statements with proper logging calls ('logger.warning', 'logger.info') for improved log management and consistency within the new Tavily-related files.

The current implementation filters out the research_goal field, which is defined as a required field in get_json_schema. This is inconsistent with other request generators and likely causes a bug, as research_goal is probably used by downstream components.

To fix this, you can remove this filtering logic. This will also require adding research_goal: Optional[str] = None to the TavilySearchRequest dataclass in ms_agent/tools/search/tavily/schema.py to avoid an error when instantiating the dataclass.

# Filter out keys not in TavilySearchRequest fields
valid_keys = {'query', 'num_results', 'search_depth', 'topic',
'include_domains', 'exclude_domains'}
filtered = {k: v for k, v in search_request_d.items() if k in valid_keys}
return TavilySearchRequest(**filtered)
return TavilySearchRequest(**search_request_d)

Using print() for warnings in library code is not ideal as it writes to standard output and can't be easily controlled (e.g., silenced, redirected to a file, or formatted). It's better to use the application's logger.

You can add from ms_agent.utils.logger import get_logger and logger = get_logger() at the top of the file, then replace this print call with logger.warning().

Suggested change
print('***Warning: No search results found.')
logger.warning('No search results found.')

return []

if not self.query:
print('***Warning: No query provided for search results.')

Similar to the comment above, it's better to use a logger for warnings instead of print().

Suggested change
print('***Warning: No query provided for search results.')
logger.warning('No query provided for search results.')


with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
data = json.load(f)
print(f'Search results loaded from {file_path}')

For consistency and better log management, please use the application logger (logger.info) instead of print() for this informational message.

Suggested change
print(f'Search results loaded from {file_path}')
logger.info(f'Search results loaded from {file_path}')
