W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk)

What this means

The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.

Why it was flagged

Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.70). This skill clearly fetches and ingests data from the public OpenAlex API (https://api.openalex.org) — see SKILL.md and references/api_guide.md and scripts/openalex_client.py — and the code (e.g., using work['cited_by_api_url'] in the citation-analysis examples and query_helpers.py) reads and follows API-provided fields to drive further requests and analysis, so untrusted third-party content can materially influence tool behavior.
