Install in OpenClaw
/install openclaw-tavily-search-bak
Description
Web search via Tavily API (alternative to Brave). Use when the user asks to search the web / look up sources / find links and Brave web_search is unavailable...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it simply forwards your query and the provided TAVILY_API_KEY to Tavily's API and returns results. Before installing, confirm you trust the Tavily service and are comfortable sending queries and the API key to https://api.tavily.com. Verify the API key is stored only where you intend (environment variable or ~/.openclaw/.env). Note small inconsistencies in metadata (the _meta.json slug/owner/publishedAt look odd) — that does not change the code behavior but you may want to confirm the skill's source/author if provenance matters.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-tavily-search-bak
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate implementation of a web search tool using the Tavily API. The Python script (scripts/tavily_search.py) uses standard libraries to perform POST requests to the official Tavily endpoint (api.tavily.com) and handles API keys through standard environment variables or a local configuration file. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description declare a web search integration with Tavily; the included script posts queries to https://api.tavily.com/search and returns titles/URLs/snippets. Required inputs (TAVILY_API_KEY via env or ~/.openclaw/.env) align with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the bundled Python script and documents the API key locations it reads. The script only reads the API key (env or ~/.openclaw/.env), sends a POST to the Tavily API, and formats the response; it does not attempt to read unrelated files or exfiltrate other environment variables.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is an instruction-only skill with a small, readable Python script that uses standard library modules (urllib). Nothing is downloaded or extracted during install.
Credentials
Only one secret is required (TAVILY_API_KEY), which is appropriate for a third-party search API integration. The script only accesses that key and no other credentials or config paths.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not excessive here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
