A web-search skill that uses the Tavily Search API to find and extract online information. Tavily is a service designed to return search results and web content in a format suited to AI systems.

Web research, current-information lookups, domain-specific searches, answer summaries, and extracting content from web pages.

It helps an agent research current events, specific topics, or particular websites without relying only on existing knowledge.

Per session 75 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00075	$0.02490
Opus 5.5	$0.00030	$0.00996
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00498
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00249

Security

Grade A, and why

tavily scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/tavily_search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What ships with it

5 files 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.

Changes

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.
