Frequently asked questions
How do my agents connect to Tavily?
Via a Tavily API key (starts with tvly-). The connection is set up once, from the Atako integration settings.
Is my Tavily API key safe?
Yes. Your API key is encrypted and never exposed to the agent: it acts through a secure access layer, without ever seeing or handling your credentials.
Can I limit what each agent is allowed to do?
Yes, read and write permissions are configured per agent: some can only search, others can extract content or map sites.
What can an agent actually do in Tavily?
Run web searches with varying depth levels, extract content from one or more URLs, map websites to list their URLs and start multi-page crawls to retrieve extracted content, depending on the permissions you grant.
Can I revoke access at any time?
Yes, in one click from the integration settings. The agent immediately loses all access to Tavily, no action needed on the Tavily side.
What Tavily data is covered?
Web searches, content extraction (markdown, text), site mapping and multi-page crawls. Credit billing is managed by Tavily on your account: each action consumes one or more credits depending on the operation type. Tavily API keys are not exposed to agents.
