This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

A Tavily-backed search provider for the DeepSeek Harness web capability seam (ctx.web): it makes the built-in web_search tool run on Tavily's search API instead of the shipped DeepSeek route.

Features

  • Keyless mode - no API key needed at all: the provider sends the official X-Tavily-Access-Mode: keyless header when no key is configured. Responses are identical to keyed ones.
  • Keyed upgrade - set TAVILY_API_KEY in ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml or the environment to use the keyed tier (1,000 free credits/month at app.tavily.com). The key is resolved fresh for every search.
  • Official defaults - search_depth: basic (1 credit), include_answer: false, max_results: 5, chunks_per_source: 3, per Tavily's agent guidance.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-web-search-tavily

Then set your API key (optional - keyless mode works without one):

# ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml
TAVILY_API_KEY: tvly-...

Select the provider (the bundle patch does this automatically; to switch manually):

# your profile's cordis.patch.yml
- id: web
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-web'
  config:
    searchProvider: tavily
