Perform deep, multi-source research using the Tavily Research API. Unlike basic search, research produces comprehensive reports (1000-3000 words) synthesizing information from multiple sources. Research tasks typically take 30-300 seconds depending on complexity and model.

# Submit research request
./scripts/tavily-research.sh '{"input": "impact of quantum computing on cryptography"}'
# Returns: {"status": "pending", "request_id": "..."}
# Poll for results
./scripts/tavily-research-poll.sh '{"request_id": "72d4a81c-..."}'
# Returns: {"status": "completed", "summary": "...", "report": "...", ...}
The research API is asynchronous. Use the two tools in sequence:
tavily_research with your query — returns immediately with a request_idtavily_research_poll with the request_id — this tool waits internally until the research completes (up to ~5 minutes), so you only need to call it oncereport text in your response — do not summarize or truncate it. Responses over 8000 characters are automatically delivered as a downloadable document by channel adapters (Telegram, Slack), giving the user the complete report as a fileSubmit a deep research request to Tavily AI. Returns immediately with a request_id for polling.
