If the openclaw-tavily plugin is installed, use these tools directly:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
tavily_search | Web search with AI answers, domain filtering, news support |
tavily_extract | Extract clean markdown/text content from URLs |
tavily_crawl | Crawl a website from a root URL, extract page content |
