Tavily AI搜索

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a straightforward Tavily search helper, but it ships with a prefilled Tavily API key and stores keys in plaintext, so users should review credential handling before installing.

Install only if you are comfortable sending search queries to Tavily. Before use, remove or replace the bundled config.json key, use your own Tavily key, and consider storing the key outside the package or restricting config.json permissions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The tool writes the API key in plaintext to config.json without warning the user that a credential is being persisted on disk. On multi-user systems, shared workspaces, backups, or if file permissions are weak, the key can be exposed and abused to consume the account or access associated service functionality.
