Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 3,477 stars are split between them (about 348 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 75/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security

- Makes network requestsSKILL.md, search.py:37 and 2 more
Web addresses in its code:
- api.tavily.comsearch.py:20
- tavily.comsearch.py:79
These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
