Tavily Search V2

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Tavily web-search skill that sends user-entered queries to Tavily and does not show hidden persistence, destructive behavior, or unrelated access.

Install only if you are comfortable sending search queries, domain filters, time ranges, and similar options to Tavily under your API key. Avoid searching for secrets or sensitive internal data, and use a dedicated Tavily key where possible.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill sends user-provided search queries to Tavily's external API, but the documentation does not clearly warn users that their inputs leave the local environment and are shared with a third party. This can lead to unintentional disclosure of sensitive prompts, internal project details, credentials, or personal data if users assume the tool behaves like a local search utility.
