How it works
Search, then let the model read
Wrap one GET request as a tool your agent can call. It gets structured results back in a few seconds, with links it can open and cite.
A simple tool call
One GET request with plain parameters, easy to describe to any model.
Sources to cite
Every link is the page's real address, ready to quote or fetch.
Google's own answer
The AI Overview's paragraphs and references, when Google shows one.
Search data an agent can use
Google's AI answer, split into paragraphs
ai_overview.text_blocks holds the answer's paragraphs and lists, and ai_overview.references the pages it was built from. Google does not show an AI Overview for every query; when it does not, the key is left out.
{ "ai_overview": { "text_blocks": [ { "type": "paragraph", "snippet": "A heat pump works by moving heat from one place to another using electricity and a special fluid called a refrigerant, rather than burning fuel to create heat." }, { "type": "paragraph", "snippet": "Think of it as a two-way air conditioner: it can pull heat out of your home to cool it down, or reverse the process to pull heat from the outside air (or ground) and bring it inside to warm you up." } ], "references": [ { "title": "How a Heat Pump Works | This Old House, Video, watch on YouTube", "link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vU9x3dFMrU&t=11" }, { "title": "How Do Heat Pumps Work?", "link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQaycSD5GWE" } ] }}Organic results to read and cite
Titles, snippets and real links give the model enough to answer, and the links to open when it needs the full page. Each request searches Google live; API answers are never cached.

Set response_type=html for the results page itself, or both for the HTML next to the JSON, when your pipeline does its own parsing.

How fresh are the results?
Every request searches Google at the moment you call, and API answers are not cached, so the model reads what a searcher sees now.
Does every query have an AI Overview?
No. Google shows one only for some queries. When there is none, the answer has no ai_overview key, and organic results are still there.
How long does a search take?
Usually 2 to 4 seconds per results page. Several pages in one request are fetched at the same time.
Can I use it with function calling?
Yes. It is a plain GET request with query parameters and a JSON answer, so any model with tool or function calling can use it.
