tavus-pal

tavus-pal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 36 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup and troubleshooting guide for an optional Tavus voice companion in the NetClaw HUD, including its local question-and-answer flow and call recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check setup, stock faces, free usage allowance, local icon behavior, interrupted-call recovery, and whether the companion can start a call.
Why use it?
It helps avoid treating a browser icon as a custom avatar, exposing private tool results, or retrying a failed call in a way that uses the allowance again.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

tavus-pal 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Tavus Pal

Use the setup guide for commands and deployment checks. The first implementation explains concepts through an isolated NetClaw agent with all tools denied. It does not provide device access or the main agent's memory.

  • The HUD calls the local stdio pal_query(question, session_id) facade. Its results stay local until the operator selects Speak this answer. Do not send raw results through Tavus events or reinterpret tool output as approval.
  • Free uses stock video faces. A locally selected smiley/lobster is only a browser icon; do not describe it as a custom Tavus avatar. Custom image training is not part of this free workflow.
  • status, faces and verify do not create conversations. Provisioning creates a PAL and tool, not a call. The API key alone never enables Pal.
  • Confirm current allowance before starting. A lost create/end response consumes its reservation and blocks another start. Use Reconcile; do not reset the ledger, create another PAL or retry a mutation blindly to regain minutes.
  • A gateway/policy failure means unavailable, not a device-health finding. GAIT failure prevents new dispatch; call cleanup must remain possible.

Never upgrade, train a custom face, publish a listener or contact other people as a side effect of setup. Honor existing session authorization for the requested local setup and keep incomplete live acceptance visible.

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.
