/install tavily-search-pro
Description
Tavily AI search platform with 5 modes: Search (web/news/finance), Extract (URL content), Crawl (website crawling), Map (sitemap discovery), and Research (deep research with citations). Use for: web search with LLM answers, content extraction, site crawling, deep research.
Usage Guidance
Review this before installing if you may search confidential topics or internal URLs: those inputs are sent to Tavily's external service. Prefer using it only with non-sensitive queries, and install the dependency in an isolated virtual environment with a pinned version rather than running the provided system-level pip install path.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tavily-search-pro
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is designed to interact with the Tavily AI search platform. It requires the `TAVILY_API_KEY` environment variable, which is read by the Python script `lib/tavily_search.py`. The `install.sh` script handles standard Python dependency installation via `pip` and performs a benign smoke test. The core Python script makes HTTP POST requests exclusively to `https://api.tavily.com`, which is the legitimate API endpoint for Tavily. There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution of arbitrary code, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. The use of `exec` is limited to running the provided Python script, which is necessary for its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
The required TAVILY_API_KEY and outbound Tavily API use are coherent for this integration, but the declared metadata only lists the environment variable and pip package, not a scoped network destination or privacy boundary.
Install Mechanism
install.sh installs the unpinned tavily-python package and first tries pip with --break-system-packages, which can modify a shared system Python environment and pulls mutable upstream code at install time.
Instruction Scope
External Tavily processing is central to the skill, but SKILL.md does not clearly warn users that submitted queries, URLs, internal targets, and crawl/research parameters leave the local environment.
Persistence & Privilege
I found no artifact evidence of persistence, background workers, credential harvesting, tool spoofing, destructive actions, or local file indexing beyond reading the Tavily API key from the environment.
Purpose & Capability
The skill's search, extract, crawl, map, and research features match its stated Tavily web-search purpose, and the code posts user-supplied queries, URLs, crawl instructions, and options to https://api.tavily.com.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tavily-search-pro - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tavily-search-pro - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
