AceToolz Word Counter

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This word-count skill appears functional, but it uploads the full text being counted to an external AceToolz API without a clear consent step.

Install only if users understand that text analyzed by this skill may be sent to AceToolz. Avoid using it for secrets, private documents, regulated data, or proprietary material unless the publisher adds explicit upload disclosure, consent, and privacy/retention details.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to send the user's full text to a third-party API, but it provides no privacy notice, consent step, or guidance about handling sensitive content. This creates a real data-exfiltration risk because users may supply confidential, personal, or proprietary text expecting local analysis, while the skill silently transmits it off-platform.
