/install tavily-web-search-for-openclaw
Description
use this when the user asks to search the web, look up recent information, check current events, gather online sources, or research a topic using tavily search.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable sending search queries and related search options to Tavily using your Tavily API key. The chmod setup steps are protective file permissions, not elevated access, but keep the API key out of source control and avoid using this for sensitive internal research terms unless Tavily use is approved.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Python 3, network access to Tavily, and a Tavily API key are proportionate for a web-search integration; the script uses only Python standard-library modules.
Install Mechanism
The README describes manual setup of a local .secrets directory and API key file, with no package installation, remote code retrieval, startup hooks, or installer scripts.
Instruction Scope
The activation wording includes broad research phrasing, so users should expect Tavily to be used for web-search or recency-dependent research requests; the external API use is disclosed in both SKILL.md and README.md.
Persistence & Privilege
There is no sudo use, root execution, service installation, scheduled task, memory write, or long-running worker; chmod examples restrict secret-file permissions rather than escalate privileges.
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose is web search and lightweight research through Tavily, and the script only builds a search payload, posts it to Tavily's API, and prints returned results.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
