Tavily Map
List URLs on a site so you can pick the right page before extracting or crawling.
When
- You know the domain but not the exact page
- You need a sitemap-style view before a crawl
- Step 3: search → extract → map → crawl → research
Do not use this skill to read page content (extract) or to bulk-download a section (crawl). Map is faster and cheaper than crawl when you only need paths.
How
- Start from the most specific base URL the user gave (for example
/docs, not the marketing homepage). - Use the URL list to choose extract vs crawl. Extract a handful of pages; crawl a section.
- Cite the URLs you recommend. Do not invent paths that were not returned.
Execute
If tavily_map is callable (the name may be prefixed), call it. Do not install the CLI and do not run tvly for this. In a coding-agent terminal that is already using tvly, pass --client-name "cursor plugin" and take flags from tvly map --help. Never ask for an API key in chat.
