Tavily
Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk
Overview
This is a straightforward Tavily web-search integration skill with expected external API use and no evidence of hidden, destructive, or automatic behavior.
Install this only if you intend to use Tavily. Treat queries, URLs, and extracted or crawled page content as data shared with Tavily, avoid submitting sensitive or unauthorized targets, keep the API key in a secret manager or environment variable, and monitor usage for crawl and research workflows.

- This is a markdown file, so SQP-2 applies to omissions in the skill description. The document describes multiple POST endpoints that send user queries, URLs, and extracted page content to an external service, including raw-content extraction and site crawling, but it does not warn users that submitted data and target URLs are transmitted to a third-party API and may affect privacy or external systems.
