Description
Search the web through a self-hosted TavilyProxyManager instance using Bearer master-key authentication while preserving the familiar tavily-search parameter...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it claims: a small script that forwards search requests to a TavilyProxyManager instance using a Bearer master key. Before installing, verify you trust the target proxy URL (set TAVILY_PROXY_URL explicitly to the intended host, ideally a local or otherwise controlled instance) because the skill will send your TAVILY_PROXY_MASTER_KEY to that endpoint. Note the registry metadata omitted the required environment variable—you must set TAVILY_PROXY_MASTER_KEY (via env or ~/.openclaw/.env). If you have concerns, review the included scripts (they are short and readable) and avoid using a high‑privilege/production master key unless necessary.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tavily-proxy-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a utility for performing web searches through a self-hosted TavilyProxyManager instance. The Python script (tavily_proxy_search.py) reads configuration from environment variables or a local .env file and makes authenticated POST requests using standard libraries. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or obfuscation was found; the code and documentation (SKILL.md) are consistent with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with the included script: it POSTs a search payload to a TavilyProxyManager /search endpoint using a Bearer master key. However, the registry metadata lists no required environment variables or primary credential while SKILL.md and the script require TAVILY_PROXY_MASTER_KEY (and optionally TAVILY_PROXY_URL). This metadata omission is inconsistent but the requested secret itself is appropriate for the described purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script are narrowly scoped: they read TAVILY_PROXY_MASTER_KEY and optionally TAVILY_PROXY_URL from the environment or ~/.openclaw/.env, build a JSON payload and POST it to the configured proxy URL, then return parsed results. The instructions and code do not access unrelated files, scan system state beyond the .env file, or contact any endpoints other than the configured proxy.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction-only with a small bundled Python script. No external downloads, package installs, or archive extraction are performed by the skill.
Credentials
The skill requests a single master key (TAVILY_PROXY_MASTER_KEY), which is proportionate for authenticating to a self‑hosted proxy. The script reads ~/.openclaw/.env to find that variable (it only searches for the named variable). The inconsistency is that registry metadata did not declare this required env var; users should be aware the skill will read that environment variable and send it to the configured URL.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent 'always' inclusion, does not modify other skills or global agent settings, and uses normal autonomous-invocation defaults.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tavily-proxy-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tavily-proxy-search - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
