Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.tavily.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

The Tavily skill allows AI agents to search and retrieve information from the web using the Tavily API. It provides access to a wide range of online sources, enabling agents to answer questions, gather data, or perform research tasks that require up-to-date information. This skill is particularly useful when an agent needs to go beyond its internal knowledge base.

When to use it

  • Answering current events questions: "What's the latest news on climate change?"
  • Researching a specific topic: "Find recent articles about advancements in quantum computing."
  • Gathering data for reports: "Collect statistics on electric vehicle sales in Europe over the last quarter."
  • Summarizing web content: “Can you summarize the key points of this article: [URL]”

Key capabilities

  • Web search functionality via Tavily API.
  • Retrieval of information from online sources.
  • Ability to answer questions based on current web data.
  • Data gathering and report generation.

Example prompts

  • "Search the web for 'best hiking trails near Denver'."
  • "What is the current price of Bitcoin?"
  • "Find articles about the impact of AI on the job market."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires an API key from Tavily to function. Ensure this key is properly configured within the agent's environment.
