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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    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

    Scanned veithly/tavily-search at 04c328adb7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The tavily-search skill allows AI agents to perform web searches using the Tavily search engine. This provides access to a different, often more relevant, set of results compared to standard search engines. It's designed for situations where broader or specialized information retrieval is needed beyond typical search capabilities.

When to use it

  • Research: Gathering information on niche topics where mainstream search results are lacking.
  • Competitive Analysis: Quickly finding and summarizing competitor strategies and offerings.
  • News Monitoring: Tracking specific events or companies with a focus on less-indexed sources.
  • Due Diligence: Performing background checks or investigations requiring comprehensive web data.

Key capabilities

  • Uses the Tavily search engine for web searches.
  • Provides access to potentially more relevant results than standard search engines.
  • Suitable for research and information gathering tasks.

Example prompts

  • "Search Tavily for 'latest advancements in quantum computing'"
  • "Using Tavily, find articles about the impact of AI on the legal profession."
  • "Can you use Tavily to identify companies developing sustainable packaging solutions?"

Tips & gotchas

The quality of results depends on the specific query and Tavily's indexing. Be mindful that Tavily might not cover all areas as comprehensively as larger search engines.
