Encountered this issue while building an AI Agent platform for a client: needed to support multiple search providers (Tavily, Serper, Brave, Bing) while ensuring tool call failures don't interrupt the Agent's conversation flow.

TL;DR​

1. Define SearchProvider abstract base class + SearchResult data model for unified interface and output
2. Each provider inherits the base class, implements search() method with field mapping
3. Key design: Return SearchResult with error info on failure, never raise exceptions

Encountered this issue while building a multi-service SaaS system. Documenting the root cause and solution.

TL;DR​

Don't use async with client.post() pattern with httpx.AsyncClient. Create the client first, then call methods: response = await client.post().
