I can confirm that web-search-preview tool is available on gpt-4.1 and that it worked in my tests.

Here's, the code I used: 
// websearchtest.mjs
import OpenAI from "openai";

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});

async function run() {
  const response = await openai.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-4.1",
    input: "What's the current price of $NVDA ?",
    text: {
      format: {
        type: "text",
      },
    },
    reasoning: {},
    tools: [
      {
        type: "web_search_preview",
        user_location: {
          type: "approximate",
        },
        search_context_size: "medium",
      },
    ],
    temperature: 1,
    max_output_tokens: 2048,
    top_p: 1,
    store: false,
  });

  console.log(response);
}

run();

@sps can you share a working example on the Playground? On the chat completion side, it says “No access to live data” on the response API side it says “as of 2024 it was trading at …”
