tavily-search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Tavily web search and URL extraction skill that sends user queries or URLs to Tavily using a Tavily API key.

Install this only if you want Tavily-backed search and extraction. Avoid submitting internal, localhost, or sensitive private URLs unless you are comfortable sending them to Tavily, and use a dedicated Tavily API key where possible.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The script sends both the Tavily API key and the user-supplied URLs to a third-party service, but provides no runtime disclosure or consent prompt to make that data flow explicit to the operator. In a CLI context this can cause unintended leakage of sensitive URLs, internal endpoints, or private query targets, especially if users assume the tool only performs local extraction.
