high confidencePurpose & Capability
Name/description (AI-optimized web search) align with required binaries (node), required env (TAVILY_API_KEY), and the included scripts which call Tavily's search/extract endpoints.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the included Node scripts with query/URL arguments. The scripts only read TAVILY_API_KEY and the provided CLI args, call https://api.tavily.com endpoints, and print results—no unrelated file, env, or network access is requested.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is instruction+script based and relies on an existing node binary. No remote downloads or archive extraction are performed by the skill itself.
Credentials
Only a single credential (TAVILY_API_KEY) is required and used directly for API calls. There are no unrelated credential or config path requests.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, the skill does not request permanent/global presence or modify other skills/configs. It runs only when invoked.
Assessment
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: call Tavily's search/extract APIs using your TAVILY_API_KEY. Before installing, consider whether you trust Tavily with the queries and any content you send (API provider privacy and retention), only provide an API key with appropriate scope, and be prepared to rotate the key if you later stop trusting the integration. If you need offline or private indexing, this skill will send URLs/queries to tavily.com (normal for a hosted search API).scripts/extract.mjs:18
Environment variable access combined with network send.

Environment variable access combined with network send.
Confirmed safe by external scanners
Static analysis detected API credential-access patterns, but both VirusTotal and OpenClaw confirmed this skill is safe. These patterns are common in legitimate API integration skills.Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
