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
NCBI sequence records are fetched at runtime from the public NCBI/Entrez endpoints and their response text (FASTA/XML fields like headers/definitions/translations) is parsed and then printed/serialized, which constitutes outsider-authored free text becoming LLM-readable output/context content.
