```bash
curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash
```Why was this flagged?
A script or Makefile pipes content from a remote URL directly into a shell (curl | sh or wget | bash). This is inherently dangerous because the remote content can change at any time, and the command runs with the current user's permissions. Rated HIGH because it requires manual execution (unlike install hooks) but still executes arbitrary remote code.

Web search, content extraction, crawling, and deep research via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill whenever the user wants to search the web, find articles, research a topic, look something up online, extract content from a URL, grab text from a webpage, crawl documentation, download a site's pages, discover URLs on a domain, or conduct in-depth research with citations. Also use when they say "fetch this page", "pull the content from", "get the page at https://", "find me articles about", or referWhy was this flagged?
