Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Google search skill that tells users how to call AceDataCloud’s SERP API with their own API token.

Install only if you intend to use AceDataCloud for Google SERP results. Use a scoped API key, keep it out of prompts and commits, and review the optional `mcp-serp` package separately before installing it.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
