Tavily Search

Name: Tavily Search
Author: jacky1n7

Description

Search the public web through Tavily and return structured results with URLs and snippets. Use when an agent needs current information, source discovery, link lookup, news or finance search, or a fallback for unavailable built-in web search. Do not use for private or authenticated pages.

Usage Guidance

Install only if you intend to use Tavily for web search and are comfortable sending search queries, domain filters, and your Tavily API key to Tavily's API. Do not use it for private, authenticated, or sensitive queries.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Credentials

It requires outbound HTTPS to api.tavily.com and TAVILY_API_KEY, which is proportionate for a Tavily integration and disclosed in metadata and configuration text.

✓ Install Mechanism

The skill consists of SKILL.md and one bundled Python script, with no install hook, package installation step, remote code loading, or dependency execution path.

✓ Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are narrow: form a search query, run the bundled script, treat snippets as untrusted, open sources before factual claims, and cite sources.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

No persistence, background workers, credential-file reads, privilege escalation, tool modification, or local data indexing were found.

✓ Purpose & Capability

The artifact coherently implements public web search through Tavily and returns structured results; it explicitly says not to use it for private or authenticated pages.
