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

High likelihood: the required workflow performs a runtime HTTP GET to NCBI and then parses/condenses the returned XML (`scripts/ncbi_pmc.py:214-229`), whose text is external (outsider) content and can contain prompt-injection strings that get injected into the agent’s context via the produced `summary`/parsed fields.
