/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 this only if you want your agent to perform Tavily searches. Use a revocable Tavily API key, scope the environment variable to agents you trust, and avoid placing secrets or private data in search queries because queries are sent to Tavily.
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
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is Tavily web search and source discovery, and the artifacts implement only that: a CLI accepts a query, result limit, and optional include/exclude domain filters, then returns Tavily search results or URLs.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are transparent and user-directed; the script requires an explicit query, clamps max_results to 0..20, and contains no hidden role changes, prompt injection, unrelated automation, or unsafe automatic execution.
Install Mechanism
The bundle includes visible JavaScript and a small shell wrapper, with no package installation, remote installer, obfuscation, or dynamic code loading; publisher provenance is not privileged but the artifacts are simple and auditable.
Credentials
The skill requires TAVILY_API_KEY and sends the API key plus search queries and optional domain filters to https://api.tavily.com/search, which is expected and proportionate for a Tavily integration.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background workers, credential storage, local file indexing, privilege escalation, destructive actions, or broad filesystem access were found.
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
