web_search
Search the live web through our private web tools spoke.
- Send one query and get ranked results.
- Each hit carries a title, URL, and snippet for grounding.
- Runs on the private WebWright web tools spoke.
Integrated web tools, built in.
Premium callers get web_search and web_read on POST /v1/chat/completions. Tools run server-side on our
private network; your app never dials the search stack directly.

Available tools
web_read
Fetch a URL and return clean, readable text.
- Fetches a URL and returns clean, readable page text.
- Set render for JavaScript-built content, rendered in a sandboxed browser.
- Prefer after web_search when you need the full page, not just snippets.
How it works
- Premium PAYG — the
payg_tieron your account must be premium (set in the dashboard; a request body cannot change it). That is what entitles WebWright to runweb_searchandweb_readfor you. On Standard the request is still accepted: the model's call comes back to your client, exactly as it would for a tool you defined yourself. - OpenAI tools shape — send function tools (or rely on
server-injected builtins on a non-streaming call). Streaming works too: declare
the tools, the rounds run first, and the finished answer arrives as one
text/event-stream, so a client that always streams needs no special case. - Your own tools pass through — a request that defines its own function tools (your MCP servers, your file and shell tools) is forwarded as sent. The model's calls come back to you and your client executes them, on any plan and with streaming. Nothing is gated and nothing runs on our side.
- Server-side loop — WebWright runs up to six model-to-tool rounds against our proprietary tool system. Usage is summed across rounds and metered like any other completion.
Compared with Firecrawl and Tavily
Firecrawl
Firecrawl is a crawl-and-scrape API you integrate into your own agent stack. You pay per page, manage keys, and own the tool-calling glue. WebWright ships web_search and web_read as first-class OpenAI tools on Premium: no third-party key, no separate billing line, and tool execution stays on our private network.
Tavily
Tavily optimizes for RAG search as a standalone SaaS. Great if you want a search vendor next to your model provider. On WebWright, search and read are integrated into the same chat completions path as Wren R1: one API key, one usage meter, premium-gated server-side tool loop, and no separate search endpoint for clients to configure.
