Install in OpenClaw
/install tavily-tool
Description
Use Tavily web search/discovery to find URLs/sources, do lead research, gather up-to-date links, or produce a cited summary from web results.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intend to use Tavily and are comfortable sending search queries and your Tavily API key to Tavily's API. Avoid putting sensitive private data in search queries, and keep TAVILY_API_KEY scoped to this use where your environment supports that.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tavily-tool
Version: 0.1.1
The OpenClaw skill bundle for Tavily web search is benign. It correctly reads the `TAVILY_API_KEY` from environment variables and uses `JSON.stringify` to construct API requests to `https://api.tavily.com/search` in `scripts/tavily_search.js`. There is no evidence of malicious intent, such as data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts in `SKILL.md` to subvert the agent's behavior. The code is straightforward and adheres to its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Network access to Tavily and reading TAVILY_API_KEY are proportionate to a Tavily search skill and are disclosed; the script does not read local files or environment variables beyond that key.
Install Mechanism
The skill declares TAVILY_API_KEY in the SKILL.md metadata and examples, but no broader install manifest or separate tool-permission declaration was present in the inspected artifact set.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to invoking the bundled CLI or wrapper script; there are no prompt overrides, hidden role changes, automatic execution instructions, or unrelated agent-control behavior.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, scheduled tasks, background workers, privilege escalation, file mutation, dynamic code retrieval, or destructive behavior was found.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is Tavily web search and source discovery, and the artifacts implement a small CLI that sends query, max_results, include_domains, and exclude_domains to the Tavily search endpoint.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tavily-tool - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tavily-tool - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
