Tavily Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Tavily search helper that sends search queries to Tavily as disclosed.

Install only if you are comfortable sending search JSON to Tavily under your Tavily API key. Keep queries non-sensitive, avoid including secrets or proprietary personal data, and use an API key with appropriate quota and billing limits.

Finding
This skill sends user-supplied JSON to an external third-party API using curl, creating a clear data egress path. In the context of a search skill this is expected, but it becomes dangerous if prompts, sensitive user data, secrets, or internal-only information are placed into the query body or if the wrapper passes arbitrary JSON fields without validation.
