Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
  • [SAFE]: The skill facilitates network communication with api.tavily.com, which is a recognized service for AI-enhanced search. It transmits only the user-provided query and the associated API key.
  • [SAFE]: Configuration of the TAVILY_API_KEY is handled via environment variables or .env files located in the user's home directory (~/.openclaw/.env), which is the standard and recommended practice for local secret management.
  • [SAFE]: No external dependencies are required or installed. The logic in scripts/search.py uses only Python's built-in modules, eliminating risks associated with malicious third-party packages.
  • [SAFE]: The skill processes untrusted web content (search results), which represents a surface for indirect prompt injection. However, the risk is mitigated as the skill lacks high-risk capabilities such as file system writing or arbitrary command execution.
  • Ingestion points: Data enters the agent context from the Tavily API response in scripts/search.py.
  • Boundary markers: The script does not utilize specific delimiters to separate untrusted search content from instructions.
  • Capability inventory: The skill's capabilities are restricted to network requests and standard output; it does not perform any file system or subprocess operations.
  • Sanitization: Content is retrieved and displayed without specific sanitization or filtering.
