Tavily Search Pro (Native Node)
Version: 1.0.20 / public ClawHub utility candidate with external API, cache, and usage-log behavior.
Research-grade Tavily web search helper: one dependency-free Node script with search, extract, stats, and cache subcommands.
Risk / invocation class
Risk class: external research API / credit usage / plaintext query logging.
Use deliberately. This skill sends search queries or URLs to Tavily over HTTPS and may append plaintext queries/URLs to a local usage log unless --no-log is used.
Input packet
Required:
task: search, extract, usage stats, or cache inspection.query_or_urls: search query or URL list when applicable.privacy_sensitivity: normal, sensitive, client/private, or unknown.freshness_need: normal cache ok, fresh/no-cache, or news/freshness-critical.depth: basic unless advanced is justified.
Optional:
trusted_domains: include/exclude domains.max_results: default 5; avoid broad high-result searches unless needed.logging_preference: normal log,--no-log, or unknown.output_format: human summary or--json.
Stop or switch tools if the query is privacy-sensitive and sending it to Tavily is not appropriate. For one known URL, prefer web_fetch unless extraction quality matters.
Output packet
Return compactly:
- command used or planned, redacted as needed
- whether cache/logging was enabled
- freshness/depth choice
- sources/results with URLs
- estimated credits used or expected when known
- limitations/caveats
- next safe research step
Security behavior
- Reads
TAVILY_API_KEYfrom the process environment only. - Does not read credential files or
~/.openclaw/.env. - Makes network calls only to Tavily's HTTPS endpoints:
https://api.tavily.com/searchhttps://api.tavily.com/extract
- Writes cache and usage logs only under
~/.openclaw/cache/tavily-search-pro-native-node/. - Cache filenames are SHA-256-derived request hashes, not plaintext queries.
- Cache entries are not API-account-scoped; if multiple Tavily accounts share the same OS user/home directory, they may share cached results for identical requests. Use separate profiles or
--no-cachewhen account isolation matters. - Usage logs may contain plaintext search queries/URLs; use
--no-logfor sensitive calls. - Local/private URL refusal is a guardrail for obvious mistaken extract targets, not a complete SSRF boundary; Tavily performs extraction from Tavily infrastructure, not this machine.
- Does not read or transmit local files or non-Tavily secrets; sends
TAVILY_API_KEYonly to Tavily for authentication. - Does not modify system configuration or auto-update.
- Public-registry static-analysis
potential_exfiltrationwarnings are expected because this tool combines env credentials, local cache/log file access, and Tavily network calls.
When to use
Use this Pro skill when:
- the user needs thorough web research, not just a quick lookup;
- multiple queries are likely and cache will save credits;
- full content extraction from specific URLs is needed;
- Tavily usage/stats matter;
- 429 retry/backoff is useful.
Prefer tavily-search-native-node when:
- a single simple search is enough;
- minimum audit surface matters;
- no disk writes/caching/logging are desired.
Prefer web_fetch for a one-off known URL read.
Do not use when:
- the query is privacy-sensitive and should not leave this machine;
- the user has not approved a sensitive/client/private query to an external research API;
- freshness requires live source browsing and cache state is uncertain, unless
--no-cacheis used.
Commands

node "<skill-dir>\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs" cache info
node "<skill-dir>\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs" cache # defaults to cache info
node "<skill-dir>\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs" cache clear # local deletion; use only after explicit approval
node "<skill-dir>\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs" help

Operating guidance
- Prefer one well-crafted query over several narrow searches.
- Use
basicdepth unless advanced is justified;advancedcosts more. - Use
--include/--excludeto scope sources when appropriate. - Use cache by default; use
--no-cachewhen freshness matters.--ttl 0disables cache reads for that command but still writes the fresh response to cache unless--no-cacheis also set. - Use
--no-log --no-cachefor sensitive but approved external queries so plaintext query/URL logs are skipped and sensitive research context is not cached. - For follow-up deep reads: search -> select URLs -> extract.
- Quote sources so the user/requester can verify.
- Track estimated credit usage with
statswhen research runs get large. - Treat
cache clearas local destructive cleanup; agents should ask before running it.
Required checks before publishing/updating
Minimum no-spend checks:
node --check skills\tavily-search-pro-native-node\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs
node skills\tavily-search-pro-native-node\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs help
node skills\tavily-search-pro-native-node\scripts\tavily-pro.mjs stats --json
node skills\tavily-search-pro-native-node\scripts\self-test.mjs
Also run a no-key smoke test in a temporary home/profile context when feasible to confirm credential errors without spending credits.
Public registry exposure
Classification: public ClawHub utility candidate with external API + local cache/log writes.
Before public update, run sanitizer/static checks and make sure docs clearly disclose:
- external calls to Tavily;
- cache/log file locations and the fact that help/cache output may print a local home-derived cache path; sanitize screenshots/logs before public sharing;
- plaintext query/URL logging;
- expected static-analysis warning;
- no local file/secret exfiltration.
Do not include private/internal/client strategy or operator-specific operational notes in a public release.
