Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a directory helper that uses a disclosed third-party API to fetch public service listings and skill files, with privacy cautions but no hidden execution, persistence, or destructive behavior found.

Install only if you are comfortable sending requested URLs and fetched public content through SkillBoss API Hub. Use it for public service listings and public skill.md files, avoid private or authenticated URLs, protect and rotate the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY as needed, and review any fetched third-party skill instructions before letting an agent follow them.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly instructs agents to use a third-party scraping endpoint to fetch arbitrary external URLs, but it does not disclose that both the requested URL and the retrieved content are transmitted through SkillBoss infrastructure. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk, especially if an agent uses the scraper on sensitive internal, user-specific, or confidential URLs.
