Tavily Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The Tavily search skill is mostly purpose-aligned, but it includes an undocumented wrapper that can turn a search query into local shell command execution.

Review or remove openclaw-wrapper.js before installing. The direct search.mjs and extract.mjs scripts are straightforward Tavily API clients, but use a dedicated Tavily API key and avoid sending confidential queries, private URLs, or internal resources to Tavily.
