Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.

2 findings — 1 high severity, 1 medium severity. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.80). The skill explicitly shows and requires embedding an access token in Authorization headers and inline code (e.g., token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" and Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN), which would force the agent to handle or emit secret values verbatim in generated requests or code.
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.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's SKILL.md and reference files explicitly instruct the agent to search and retrieve public protocols and user discussions from protocols.io (e.g., GET /protocols, GET /publications, GET /protocols/{id}, GET /protocols/{id}/comments) and to parse/act on steps, materials, and comments as part of workflows, which exposes it to untrusted, user-generated third-party content that can influence actions.
