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). The skill explicitly retrieves and ingests external PubMed content via the NCBI E-utilities (e.g., ESearch/EFetch/ESummary) as described in SKILL.md and references/api_reference.md, so the agent will read and act on third-party public website data (PubMed records) that could influence subsequent tool use or decisions.
