dsh-tavily-search

DH’s built-in web search routes every query through a DeepSeek model call, so each search burns LLM tokens. If your conversations involve a lot of live research, those tokens add up fast. dsh-tavily-search removes the model from the loop entirely and lets the search hit the Tavily Search API directly, so the only cost is Tavily’s own quota.

The plugin registers itself as a DSH web-seam search provider under the name web-search-tavily. Every search is a plain HTTPS request to api.tavily.com/search — no inference, no token meter. You can switch between basic and advanced search depth, opt in to Tavily’s generated natural-language answer, or point baseURL at a self-hosted proxy. API keys are read from the DSH credential service or an environment variable; they never live in plugin source and are never uploaded anywhere.

It is a good fit for DSH users who want a zero-token web-search path for research-heavy sessions, who are happy to grab a Tavily API key (a free tier is available), and who prefer a pure-ESM, no-build-step bundle that installs cleanly without manual configuration edits.
