Plugins

Augment a request with extra capabilities by adding a plugins array. Today TigerGateway ships the web plugin.

Web search

The web plugin searches the web for the user's latest message and injects the results as a system message before the model answers — useful for fresh, citable context.

json

{
  "model": "gpt-4o",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Latest on the James Webb telescope?" }],
  "plugins": [{ "id": "web", "max_results": 3 }]
}

id — web.
max_results — optional, 1–8 (default 3).

Search backend

The backend is pluggable. Set SERPER_API_KEY or BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY for richer results; otherwise the gateway falls back to a keyless DuckDuckGo backend. The active backend is shown under Dashboard → Plugins.
