Low-risk findings worth noting
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
The workflow retrieves biological sequences and database records from NCBI E-utilities (such as GenBank, PubMed, and patent databases), where searched records and patent entries may contain outsider-authored text/annotations ingested at runtime via active search commands.
