Usage Guidance
Before installing or enabling: 1) Verify the TAVILY_API_KEY requirement — the registry metadata should list this credential but currently does not. 2) Inspect ~/.openclaw/.env and ~/.env (or set TAVILY_API_KEY in your environment) so the script won't unexpectedly read home files you consider sensitive. 3) Confirm the owner/source is trustworthy (no homepage provided). 4) If you proceed, run the script in an isolated environment (container or VM) or set the API key as an explicit env var rather than relying on file fallback. 5) Consider asking the publisher to update metadata to declare TAVILY_API_KEY and to document the fallback file reads.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tavily-factcheck
Version: 1.0.0
The tavily-factcheck skill bundle is a legitimate tool designed to interface with the Tavily Search API for fact-checking purposes. The core script, scripts/search.mjs, implements a standard wrapper for the official Tavily API endpoint (api.tavily.com) and includes common CLI patterns for resolving API keys from environment variables or local configuration files (~/.openclaw/.env). The SKILL.md documentation provides clear, helpful instructions for the AI agent without any evidence of prompt injection, malicious directives, or unauthorized data access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The code and SKILL.md implement an enhanced Tavily search and only call https://api.tavily.com/search, which is coherent with the stated purpose. However, the registry metadata lists no required environment variables or primary credential while both SKILL.md and the script clearly require TAVILY_API_KEY — this inconsistency should be resolved.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions run scripts/search.mjs which reads the TAVILY_API_KEY from process.env or falls back to reading ~/.openclaw/.env and ~/.env. Reading files in the user's home directory is broader than a simple env-var lookup and could surface unexpected secrets if those files contain other data; while this behavior is used only to find the API key, the instructions do not declare or justify reading those files in the registry metadata.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only skill with an included script). No remote downloads or archive extraction are present, so the install mechanism itself is low-risk.
Credentials
The script requires a TAVILY_API_KEY (used as api_key in requests) but the skill metadata claims no required env vars or primary credential — this is a proportionality mismatch. The script only needs a single API key for the declared API, which is reasonable, but it should be declared in the registry and the fallback file reads should be documented and justified.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always-on presence, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and only executes when invoked. No persistence or elevated privileges are requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tavily-factcheck - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tavily-factcheck - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
