Tavily Metered Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Tavily web-search helper that uses a Tavily API key, sends searches to Tavily, and keeps a local quota counter.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the skill access to your Tavily API key, sending search queries to Tavily, and allowing it to maintain a local monthly usage counter in the skill directory.

Finding
The skill documentation declares only an environment requirement but does not explicitly declare the broader capabilities it uses: network access to Tavily, file reads for config/state, and file writes for usage tracking. This creates a permission-transparency gap where operators may approve or run the skill without understanding that it persists data locally and accesses external services, which weakens auditability and informed consent.
