import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'exa_contents',
  {
    "urls": [
      "https://example.com"
    ],
    "ids": [
      "id_123"
    ],
    "text": true
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);

CLI

deepline tools execute exa_contents --input '{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com"
  ],
  "ids": [
    "id_123"
  ],
  "text": true
}' --json

Example response

The SDK exposes this shape at result.toolResponse.raw. Values below are representative.

{
  "data": {
    "requestId": "request_123",
    "results": [
      {
        "id": "id_123",
        "url": "https://example.com",
        "title": "VP of Engineering"
