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
Yes: the required runtime workflow uses Exa’s web search (`client.search_and_contents`) and URL extraction (`client.get_contents`) to fetch outsider-authored webpages/articles/PDF text, and that fetched prose is returned as `response.results[*].text/highlights` (scripts/exa_search.py:115-127 and scripts/exa_extract.py:83-91), which would then be available to be placed into the agent’s LLM context.
