Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill includes setup instructions in
references/setup.mdthat direct the agent or user to install thetvlyCLI using a shell pipe pattern:curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash. While this originates from the vendor's official domain, this execution pattern is a high-risk method for remote code execution. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs on the installation of external dependencies and software:
- Installation of the
tavily-clipackage viapiporuvinreferences/setup.md. - Use of
npx skills addto dynamically install additional skills such astavily-researchfrom thetavily-ai/skillsrepository. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill's primary function is to search and crawl the web, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection from untrusted external data.
- Ingestion points: External web content and search snippets retrieved via the
tavily_search,tavily_extract,tavily_map, andtavily_crawltools. - Boundary markers: The instructions do not define clear delimiters or provide 'ignore instructions' warnings for the agent when processing retrieved web content.
- Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to write files to disk (
-o <file>), execute CLI commands, and install additional software/skills via shell and package managers. - Sanitization: There is no mention of sanitization, filtering, or validation steps for the data retrieved from external URLs before it is processed by the agent.
