Low-risk findings worth noting
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.
The runtime workflow calls Tavily’s public web search API, ingests outsider-authored search results/snippets (and optional “answer”) from the HTTP JSON response (`scripts/tavily_search.py:58-84`) and then returns them as LLM-readable JSON/Markdown (`scripts/tavily_search.py:104-118`, `scripts/tavily_search.py:151-156`).
If you maintain this skill, you can claim it as your own. Once claimed, you can manage eval scenarios, bundle related skills, attach documentation or rules, and ensure cross-agent compatibility.
