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.

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 | $0.00072 | $0.00315 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00158 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00063 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
tavily-research 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 6d 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 Research
Synthesize a grounded report from multiple sources, with citations. This is slower than search.
When
- The user needs comparison, market context, or a literature-style brief
- Quick search snippets are not enough
- Step 5: search → extract → map → crawl → research
Do not use this skill for a simple lookup (search) or for pulling one site’s docs (crawl).
How
- Clarify scope, freshness, geography, and output shape only when they are ambiguous.
- Wait for the research run to finish. Preserve source URLs and distinguish sourced facts from your analysis.
- Prefer research when the deliverable is the report. Prefer search when the user wants a short answer now.
Execute
If tavily_research is callable (the name may be prefixed), call it. Do not install the CLI and do not run tvly for this. In a coding-agent terminal that is already using tvly, pass --client-name "cursor plugin" and take flags from tvly research --help. Never ask for an API key in chat.
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-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository tavily-ai/tavily-cursor-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 315 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
