  1.0.0

Overview

This is a straightforward Tavily web-search skill that sends search requests to Tavily as expected and shows no hidden persistence, unrelated data access, or destructive behavior.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending search queries and selected search options to Tavily and providing a Tavily API key. Avoid putting secrets, private documents, or sensitive personal data into queries unless that matches your data-handling requirements.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 90% confidence
• Finding: This code sends the user-provided query and optional parameters such as included/excluded domains and raw-content requests to Tavily over the network. Although network access is central to a search tool, the script itself provides no explicit warning, confirmation, or privacy disclosure that user input will be transmitted to a third-party service.
