Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.00739 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00369 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00148 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00074 |
Grade A, and why
tavily-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AIsa Tavily Search
Advanced web search powered by Tavily through the AIsa API. Offers fine-grained control over search depth, topic categories, time ranges, domain filtering, and optional LLM-generated answer summaries.
Setup
This skill requires the AISA_API_KEY environment variable. When installed as a Claude plugin, the key is configured via the plugin's userConfig.
Usage
Run the search client with the tavily subcommand:
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "<search query>" [options]
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--query / -q |
Yes | — | Search query |
--count / -c |
No | 5 | Maximum results (1–20) |
--depth |
No | basic | Search depth: basic, advanced, fast, ultra-fast |
--topic |
No | — | Topic filter: general, news, finance |
--time-range |
No | — | Time range filter |
--include-answer |
No | false | Include an LLM-generated answer summary |
Examples
# Basic search
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "OpenAI latest announcements" --count 10
# Advanced news search with answer
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "AI regulation 2026" --depth advanced --topic news --include-answer
# Finance-focused search
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "NVIDIA earnings Q1 2026" --topic finance --include-answer
Output
The script prints structured results including:
- Title — Page title
- URL — Direct link
- Date — Publication date (when available)
- Content — Relevant excerpt
- Answer — LLM-generated summary (when
--include-answeris used)
When to Use
Use this skill when the user needs advanced search with specific filtering requirements: news-only results, finance-focused results, time-bounded searches, or when they want an AI-generated answer alongside raw results. This is the most feature-rich search tool in the plugin.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tavily-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository AIsa-team/agent-skills (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 739 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
