Tavily Summary

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Tavily web search and URL extraction helper, with expected third-party API use but no hidden persistence or local data access.

Install only if you are comfortable having Tavily process the search queries and URLs you provide. Use a dedicated Tavily API key where possible, and do not submit confidential search terms, private documents, internal URLs, or secret-bearing links unless that sharing is approved.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill sends user queries and supplied URLs to Tavily, a third-party service, but the documentation does not prominently warn users that their input leaves the local environment or that an external API key is required. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk because users or calling agents may submit sensitive prompts, internal URLs, or confidential research terms without informed consent.
