+# Parallel tools for LangChain
+
+Give your LangChain JavaScript agent two tools: Search to find sources and
+Extract to read them. Both use the
+[Parallel SDK](https://github.com/parallel-web/parallel-sdk-typescript) to call
+the Search and Extract APIs.
+
+`@parallel-web/langchain` isn't on npm yet. For now, you can run it from this
+repo or install a tarball you build locally.
+
+## Try it locally
+
+You'll need Node.js 22.13 or newer. These commands use the pnpm version pinned
+in this repo. Run them from the repo root:
+
+```bash
+corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+corepack pnpm --filter @parallel-web/langchain build
+corepack pnpm --filter @parallel-web/langchain test
+```
+
+To try it in another project, build a tarball:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p artifacts
+corepack pnpm --dir packages/langchain pack --pack-destination ../../artifacts
+```
+
+Install that tarball alongside `@langchain/core` 1.2.9 or a later 1.x release.
+The package supports ESM, CommonJS, and TypeScript. Importing it doesn't need
+an API key.
+
+## Add the tools
+
+Set `PARALLEL_API_KEY` on your server, or pass `apiKey` when you create a tool.
+Keep the key out of browser code.
+
+```ts
+import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto';
+import { createSearchTool, createExtractTool } from '@parallel-web/langchain';
+
+const sessionId = randomUUID();
+const search = createSearchTool({
+  mode: 'fast',
+  maxResults: 5,
+  maxOutputChars: 12_000,
+  sessionId,
+});
+const extract = createExtractTool({ maxOutputChars: 12_000, sessionId });
+
+// Add these to your LangChain agent's tools array.
+const tools = [search, extract];
+
+// You can also call a tool directly to get text back.
+const content = await search.invoke({
+  search_queries: ['Parallel Search API documentation'],
+  objective: 'Find the current Search API documentation and its search modes.',
+});
+console.log(content);
+```
+
+The tool names are `parallel_web_search` and `parallel_extract`,
+matching the [Python integration](https://github.com/parallel-web/langchain-parallel).
+
+Search accepts one to five nonblank `search_queries`, each up to 200 characters.
+Extract accepts one to twenty HTTP or HTTPS `urls`.
+Both accept an optional `objective` of up to 5,000 characters, or `null`.
+The tools check these inputs before making a request. Your app controls the
+credentials and request settings; the model doesn't see those in its tool schema.
+
+## Get the full response
+
+Calling `invoke(args)` returns text. If you pass a tool call with an ID, you
+get a `ToolMessage` with both the text and the full SDK response in `artifact`.
+This is LangChain's `content_and_artifact` format:
+
+```ts
+const message = await extract.invoke({
+  type: 'tool_call',
+  id: 'read-docs',
+  name: extract.name,
+  args: {
+    urls: ['https://docs.parallel.ai/search/modes'],
+    objective: 'Explain the supported search modes.',
+  },
+});
+
+console.log(message.content); // Text for the model
+console.log(message.artifact); // Full API response for your app
+```
+
+The artifact keeps every response field, including source details, request and
+session IDs, usage, warnings, and errors for individual URLs. Full page content
+and error bodies stay there too, when the API returns them.
+
+The text sent to the model is capped at 20,000 characters by default, including
+source details and notices. Each source URL appears in full before its text.
+If the URL won't fit, the tool leaves out that source's section. A notice tells
+the model when output has been shortened.
+
+The tools ask the API for the same excerpt budget, then apply the text limit
+locally to account for source details and full content. The artifact stays
+complete, so you'll need your own storage limit if you save it.
+
+## Change the settings
+
+| Option | Applies to | Default / behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `apiKey` | Both | Uses `PARALLEL_API_KEY` if you don't pass a key |
+| `client` | Both | Your own `Parallel` SDK client; use instead of `apiKey` |
+| `maxOutputChars` | Both | 20,000; a safe integer of at least 1,024 |
+| `sessionId` | Both | Optional; share one ID across related Search and Extract calls |
+| `fetchPolicy` | Both | SDK policy for cache freshness and live fetching |
+| `mode` | Search | `advanced`; also supports `turbo`, `fast`, and `basic` |
+| `maxResults` | Search | 10; an integer from 1 to 40 |
+| `sourcePolicy` | Search | SDK domain and freshness policy |
+| `fullContent` | Extract | `false`; accepts `true` or SDK full-content settings |
+
+`sourcePolicy` applies only to Search. If your app needs to restrict Extract
+URLs, check them before calling the tool. When you request full content, it
+stays in the artifact. The text uses excerpts where available and falls back
+to full content when there are none.
+
+To set retries or timeouts, pass your own SDK client. Add `parallel-web` as a
+direct dependency of your app to use this example:
+
+```ts
+import { Parallel } from 'parallel-web';
+
+const client = new Parallel({
+  apiKey: process.env.PARALLEL_API_KEY,
+  timeout: 30_000,
+  maxRetries: 1,
+});
+const searchWithClient = createSearchTool({ client, mode: 'fast' });
+
+const controller = new AbortController();
+const pending = searchWithClient.invoke(
+  { search_queries: ['Parallel Search API'] },
+  { signal: controller.signal }
+);
+// Call controller.abort() if the user cancels the request.
+await pending;
+```
+
+An already-aborted signal stops the call before it sends a request. Aborting
+during a request cancels it through the SDK. LangChain runnable timeouts use
+the same signal path.
+
+SDK errors, including authentication failures, rate limits, and timeouts,
+reject the tool call. Extract can also succeed for some URLs and fail for
+others. You'll see those failures in the text and in `artifact.errors`. The
+failure count stays visible even when the text limit leaves out error details.
+
+Calls use your Parallel API key and your account's access, limits, and billing.
+Requests include an `X-Tool-Calling-Package` header with the package name and version.
+
+## Run a research agent
+
+The [research example](./examples/research.mjs) puts both tools into a LangChain
+agent. Each run gets a new session ID, shared across its Search and Extract calls.
+The prompt asks the agent to read sources, cite them in its answer, and ignore
+instructions found in retrieved pages. The example's model adapter is a
+development dependency.
+
+Set `PARALLEL_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, and `RESEARCH_MODEL` in your environment.
+Choose a model your account can access that supports tool calling. After the
+local setup above, run this from the repo root:
+
+```bash
+corepack pnpm --filter @parallel-web/langchain example:research -- \
+  'What are the current Parallel Search modes? Cite the official documentation.'
+```
+
+This makes live calls to Parallel and your model provider, so normal usage
+charges apply. Missing environment variables stop the example before it makes
+any requests. The tests run the same agent flow with a scripted model and
+test responses, without calling either service.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+corepack pnpm --filter @parallel-web/langchain test
+corepack pnpm --filter @parallel-web/langchain typecheck
+corepack pnpm --filter @parallel-web/langchain build
+```
+
+Run the root checks before opening a PR. Adding this package doesn't publish
+it to npm. The first release needs a Parallel npm organization owner to follow
+the [publishing guide](../../PUBLISHING.md) from an updated `main` checkout.
