What your chats can do

19 tools from Exa.

  • Generate an answerGenerates a direct, citation-backed answer to a clear natural language question or topic using Exa's search, adept at both specific answers and detailed summaries for open-ended queries. Response contains an `answer` field (summary) and a `citations` field (supporting URLs). Citations may include low-credibility sources; verify authoritative references for factual use.
  • Create Agent RunStart an asynchronous Exa Agent run for multi-step web research or enrichment. Save the returned ID and poll Get Agent Run until the run reaches a terminal status.
  • Create ImportTool to create a new import to upload data into a Webset. Use when you need to initialize an import before uploading the data file.
  • Create a MonitorTool to create a new Monitor. Use when you need to schedule automated updates for a Webset without manual runs.
  • Create Research TaskCreates an asynchronous research task that explores the web, gathers sources, synthesizes findings, and returns results with citations. The API responds immediately with a researchId for polling completion status. Use this when you need to generate: 1. Structured JSON matching an outputSchema you provide 2. A detailed markdown report when no schema is provided After creation, poll the research task status using the researchId to retrieve the final results when completed.
  • Create WebsetTool to create a new Webset with search, import, and enrichment setup. Use when you need to configure and seed a Webset in one call.
  • Delete importTool to delete an existing import. Use when you need to permanently remove an import by its ID.
  • Delete websetTool to delete a Webset. Use after confirming the Webset ID to permanently remove the Webset and all its items.
  • Get Agent RunRetrieve an Agent run to inspect its status, output, citations, usage, or cost.
  • Get API KeyTool to retrieve details of a specific API key by its ID. Use when you need to fetch information about an API key in the team management context.
  • Get contents from URLs or document IDsRetrieve text / highlights / summary / subpages from URLs. The endpoint returns HTTP 200 even when individual URLs fail — always inspect `statuses[]` for CRAWL_NOT_FOUND, CRAWL_LIVECRAWL_TIMEOUT, SOURCE_NOT_AVAILABLE. Control freshness with `maxAgeHours` (0 = always livecrawl, -1 = cache only). Use `subpages` + `subpageTarget` to crawl linked pages within a site in one request.
  • Get EventTool to get details of a specific event by its ID. Use when you have an event ID and need its full details.
  • Get Research TaskTool to retrieve the status and results of a previously created research task. Use the unique researchId returned from POST /research/v1 to poll until the task is finished.
  • List eventsTool to list all events that have occurred in the system. Use when you need to paginate through the event history.
  • List importsTool to list all imports for the Webset. Use when you need to paginate through and monitor import jobs.
  • List research tasksTool to retrieve a paginated list of your research tasks. Use when you need to view or monitor research jobs with cursor-based pagination.
  • List webhooksTool to list all webhooks for Websets. Use when you need to view existing webhooks and paginate through results.
  • SearchWeb search via the Exa engine. Returns ranked results with optional per-result text/highlights/summary (set the nested `contents` object). For agent workflows prefer `contents.highlights=true` — 10× fewer tokens than full text. Pick `type` by latency tier: `instant`~250 ms · `fast`~450 ms · `auto`~1 s (default) · `deep-lite` ~4 s · `deep` 4–15 s · `deep-reasoning` 12–40 s. `includeDomains` and `excludeDomains` are mutually exclusive (max 1200 each). For `category=company` or `category=people`, date filters / `excludeDomains` are NOT supported and will 400.
  • Update importTool to update an import configuration by ID. Use when you need to modify an import's title or metadata.
