does livekit agents have webfetch tool by default

Thanks for reaching out, Charan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

can it search online public urls and answer?

Thanks — I’m responding to your question about whether LiveKit agents can search online public URLs and answer based on that content. Short answer: Yes — LiveKit agents can search public URLs and use that content to answer, but only when you enable or add a web-capable tool. This is not automatic. How you can enable it: • Use a provider tool that supports web search/browsing (must be explicitly added to the agent): ◦ xAI Grok provides a

WebSearch

tool that can search the web and browse pages. ◦ Google Gemini offers provider tools (e.g.,

GoogleSearch

) for web searches. ◦ Azure/OpenRouter can be configured with web-search plugins where supported. • Add a custom HTTP/tool implementation: ◦ Use Agent Builder or define a function/tool that fetches content from public URLs (HTTP requests), then pass that content back to the agent for answering. ◦ Implement retrieval-augmented workflows (RAG) or custom fetch + summarization pipelines if you need structured processing of many pages. Next step I can help with • Tell me which provider you plan to use (xAI/Grok, Gemini, Azure, OpenRouter) or whether you want to build a custom HTTP fetch tool, and I’ll give step‑by‑step setup code and configuration for that option.
