Install in OpenClaw
/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 to Tavily and using your Tavily API quota from a local key. Store the key in .secrets/tavily.key with restrictive permissions, avoid confidential queries, and note that the advertised --api-key and TAVILY_API_KEY methods do not appear to work in this version.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts fit the stated purpose: a Python standard-library script performs Tavily REST searches and prints results. One documentation mismatch exists: SKILL.md and CLI help mention --api-key and TAVILY_API_KEY, but the script only loads ../.secrets/tavily.key.
Instruction Scope
The trigger is somewhat broad because it includes researching a topic, but it remains framed around web search, recent information, online sources, and Tavily search rather than unrelated automatic behavior.
Install Mechanism
No package install, dependency fetch, startup hook, background service, or privileged installer is present; the artifact contains README.md, SKILL.md, and one Python script.
Credentials
Network access to https://api.tavily.com/search and transmission of the user query are expected for a Tavily search skill. Users should avoid putting confidential text into search queries.
Persistence & Privilege
The script reads a narrowly scoped local secret file at .secrets/tavily.key for the Tavily API key. It does not scan broad credential stores, write persistence, or request elevated privileges.
