alphaxiv
Quick single-paper lookup via AlphaXiv LLM-optimized summaries with tiered source fallback. Use when user says "explain this paper", "summarize paper", pastes an arXiv/AlphaXiv URL, or provides a bare arXiv ID for quick understanding - not for broad literature search.

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
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.95). At runtime the workflow fetches outsider-authored free text from public web pages—AlphaXiv overviews (`https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md`) and full markdown (`https://alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md`)—via `curl`, and then also downloads and extracts arXiv LaTeX source (`https://arxiv.org/src/{PAPER_ID}`) whose `.tex` files are read into the LLM context.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill fetches and injects remote, LLM-optimized content at runtime from https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md (and falls back to https://alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md and https://arxiv.org/src/{PAPER_ID}), and that fetched markdown/source is used as model input that directly controls the agent's outputs.
