/install tavily-search-with-multi-key
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 appears to do exactly what it says: send queries to a Tavily API using an API key and return results. Before installing, confirm you trust api.tavily.com and are comfortable providing an API key. Note the skill may read keys from ~/.openclaw/.env and will create/write ~/.openclaw/.tavily-index to rotate multiple keys — if you prefer not to store keys in your home directory, supply the key only as an environment variable or review/modify the script. Also verify the Tavily service's terms and limits (and consider using a key with limited scope/quota). The registry metadata not listing the required env vars is a minor but notable inconsistency; review the script yourself if you have security concerns.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tavily-search-with-multi-key
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate utility for performing web searches via the Tavily API. The Python script (scripts/tavily_search.py) implements a round-robin key rotation mechanism by reading from environment variables or a local configuration file (~/.openclaw/.env) and tracking state in a local index file, which is consistent with the documented functionality. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the included script and instructions (it calls Tavily's search API). Minor metadata mismatch: the registry metadata lists no required env vars, but SKILL.md and the script expect TAVILY_API_KEY or TAVILY_API_KEYS.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running the bundled Python script. The script's actions (reading keys, POSTing to Tavily, returning results) stay within the described search purpose and do not attempt to read unrelated user data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only plus an included script. No external downloads or installs are performed by the skill itself.
Credentials
The script requires TAVILY_API_KEY or TAVILY_API_KEYS (reasonable for a third-party search API). It will also read ~/.openclaw/.env (if present) and writes a small state file ~/.openclaw/.tavily-index to rotate keys — this local file access is proportionate but should be noted. The registry did not declare these env/config expectations.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill only writes its own state file under ~/.openclaw; it does not modify other skills or system-wide settings.
