dsh-tavily-pool
English | 简体中文
Tavily-backed web search and page fetching for DeepSeek Harness: multi-key pool with balance-aware rotation, automatic failover, cooldown, official /usage balance reporting, and independent toggles for search and fetch — configurable from the DSH settings panel.
Not to be confused with szmy-haruhi/dsh-tavily (single key / keyless, no scheduling) or @yuuz12/dsh-tavily (multi-key, but no fetch takeover and it rewrites internal fields at runtime). This plugin manages a pool of keys, schedules by remaining balance, and takes over both web_search and web_fetch.
Features
- Multi-key pool — add one key or paste a whole batch (one per line), label, enable/disable, reorder, remove; the UI only ever shows masked keys
- Balance-aware rotation — highest remaining balance first; three-state balance (
limit === null → unlimited first, unknown → last)
- Automatic failover — a failing key hands the request to the next one
- Cooldown — honors upstream
Retry-After; cooled keys are hard-excluded until it expires, and when every key is cooling the request waits for the earliest one within a bounded budget
- Status-aware errors — separates temporary failures, permanent key death (body-inspected, never status-code-only), and quota exhaustion (
432 / 433 treated alike: the key stays out of rotation until /usage confirms a positive balance)
- Official balance only — the card shows the
/usage reading (limit − used, both official numbers). The plugin keeps no credit accounting of its own: Tavily's billing rules can change at any time, so a locally computed figure could silently become wrong. Balance-aware ordering is still kept fresh between refreshes using a deliberately rough per-call estimate that is never displayed
- Balance refresh — pulls official
/usage with per-key sliding-window quota reservation, so it never trips the 10-per-10-minutes limit
- Configurable search parameters — search depth, result cap, topic, and generated-answer toggle, all taking effect immediately
- Fetch takeover (off by default) — maps
web_fetch to Tavily /extract, returning plain text (never HTML, which DSH would convert a second time); extraction depth and output format are configurable. Turn it on in settings when you want Tavily to handle fetching too
- Call history and chart — every call is recorded (key, endpoint, outcome, duration,
request_id) and drawn as a 14-day call-count chart; the file is bounded by both an entry cap and a 30-day window
- Independent toggles — search and fetch can be switched back to the official providers separately
- Zero runtime dependencies — plain ESM, no build step
Shipped: everything the spec asked for — search takeover and its toggle, the key pool
(one key at a time or a whole pasted batch), failover with cooldown, search parameters, the
scheduling policy, balance refresh, fetch takeover with its own toggle (off by default),
call history with its chart, and the settings card with its HTTP API.
Install
From the npm registry:
dsh plugin add dsh-tavily-pool
Or straight from GitHub, which needs no registry account. Pin a released tag when you want a
reproducible version — see the tags for
the ones that exist:
dsh plugin add github:stormbuf/dsh-tavily-pool
dsh plugin add github:stormbuf/dsh-tavily-pool#vX.Y.Z
Both routes install the same files: the files whitelist in package.json applies to git installs too, so no test/ or scripts/ directory comes along.
Then open Settings → Plugins → dsh-tavily-pool and paste your Tavily API key(s). Keys are entered through the panel only — the plugin does not read environment variables or the DSH credentials service.
See docs/usage.md for configuration, scheduling behaviour, billing, and manual rollback steps.
Compatibility
DeepSeek Harness is in preview, so its architecture and plugin interfaces may change between releases. This plugin isolates all host-specific knowledge in one thin adapter layer (lib/dsh/) and probes host capabilities at load time, so that adapting to a breaking change stays cheap.
Tested against DSH 0.1.5-rc.2. On a newer release, the plugin may need re-adaptation; it will report a clear error naming the missing capability rather than failing silently. The step-by-step checklist lives in docs/dsh-upgrade.md.
Installing through dsh plugin add makes this package a bundle layer of the target profile (it lands in that profile's dsh.profile.bundles, after the DSH bundles), which is what lets its cordis.patch.yml pin the providers. Your own profile patch is applied after every bundle layer, so it can always override or disable what this plugin does — see Manual rollback.
