OpenAI Deep Research tool requirements

In order to use openAI deep research you have to call tools like this:

 tools=[
    {
      "type": "web_search_preview"
    },
    {
      "type": "code_interpreter",
      "container": {
        "type": "auto",
        "file_ids": []
      }
    }
  ]

 tools=[
    {
      "type": "web_search_preview"
    },
    {
      "type": "code_interpreter",
      "container": {
        "type": "auto",
        "file_ids": []
      }
    }
  ]

Is this possible with convex agent? AI says it is NOT.

I assume you would just create a deep research tool for your convex agent (either with createTool if u need convex ctx or just tool if udont), and then inside the tool where you call the llm you just follow the ai sdk docs: https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers/openai#web-search-tool const result = await generateText({ model: openai('gpt-5'), prompt: 'What happened in San Francisco last week?', tools: { web_search: openai.tools.webSearch({ // optional configuration: searchContextSize: 'high', userLocation: { type: 'approximate', city: 'San Francisco', region: 'California', }, }), }, // Force web search tool (optional): toolChoice: { type: 'tool', toolName: 'web_search' }, });
