Context management
Tavily
Search, extract and crawl API marketed specifically as the context feed for AI agents

What it is
Our note
Tavily bills in credits rather than queries, and credit consumption varies by request type (search, extract, crawl), which makes per-agent-run context cost forecastable and cap-able. It is positioned as an agent-facing context feed rather than a general search index, with an enterprise tier for custom rate limits and SLAs.
