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 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.tavily.com, 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.

About this skill

What it does

The web-search-tavily skill enables AI agents to perform real-time searches on the web using Tavily's search API. It retrieves relevant information from the internet, allowing agents to access up-to-date data and insights that are not available in their training datasets.

When to use it

  • To find current news or events related to a specific topic.
  • To gather factual data for reports or analyses that require recent information.
  • To verify claims or assumptions with real-time web results.

Key capabilities

  • Real-time web search using Tavily's API
  • Retrieval of relevant and up-to-date information from the internet
  • Integration into AI agent workflows to enhance decision-making with current data

Example prompts

  • "Find the latest news about renewable energy investments in 2024."
  • "What is the current exchange rate between USD and EUR?"
  • "Search for recent studies on climate change impacts in coastal regions."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have an active Tavily API key configured to use this skill.
  • Be mindful of search result reliability, as web content can vary in accuracy and bias.
