Tavily Search Optimized

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...

This skill implements a Tavily web-search client and appears to be mostly coherent, but check these points before installing: - Provide an API key: the scripts require TAVILY_API_KEY (or TAVILY_KEY). The registry metadata did not declare this requirement — set the env var or add it to ~/.openclaw/.env before use. - Review where secrets are stored: examples suggest writing your API key to ~/.openclaw/.env in plaintext. Ensure that file has safe permissions and that you are comfortable storing the key there. - Confirm the Tavily endpoint: the code posts to https://api.tavily.com. If you don't trust that service, do not provide credentials. - Be aware of local caching: search results are cached under ~/.openclaw/cache/tavily (this writes files to your home directory). If that is a concern, run with --no-cache or set a custom cache dir. - Minor docs/code mismatches: examples reference formats or paths (e.g., /root/.openclaw/...) that may not match your environment — inspect and possibly edit the script paths before running. If you want higher assurance, review the full scripts (they are included) for any further unexpected network calls or data-handling behavior, or run them in an isolated environment first.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: tavily-search-optimized-v1 Version: 1.0.3 The skill bundle provides a well-documented and functional tool for performing web searches via the Tavily API. The Python scripts (tavily_search.py and tavily_search_legacy.py) use standard libraries for network requests and implement a local file-based caching system in a dedicated directory (~/.openclaw/cache/tavily). There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection; the code only accesses its own configuration file (~/.openclaw/.env) and the official Tavily API endpoint (api.tavily.com).
