Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00025 | $0.00294 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00118 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
tavily-hikari-best-practices 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 2mo 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
Tavily Hikari Best Practices
Use this skill when deciding how to call Tavily Hikari from an agent workflow.
Rules
-
Use
tvly-hikari ... --jsonfor agent-readable output. -
Use Hikari tokens beginning with
th-; never paste official Tavily API keys into downstream agents or user machines. -
Configure Hikari once:
tvly-hikari configure --base-url https://<your-hikari-host> --token th-<id>-<secret> -
Treat
/mcpand/api/tavily/*as different integration surfaces:- MCP clients use
https://<your-hikari-host>/mcpwith bearer auth. - CLI and HTTP-style clients use
https://<your-hikari-host>/api/tavily.
- MCP clients use
-
Keep searches narrow, save large outputs with
-oor--output-dir, and cite source URLs when answering factual questions. -
Do not test against Tavily production upstream unless the operator explicitly approves it; use local or sandbox Hikari endpoints for smoke tests.
Quick Smoke
tvly-hikari doctor
tvly-hikari search "Tavily Hikari smoke test" --json
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.
