Podcast Discovery

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

The skill is a coherent podcast lookup helper that uses public search/feed data and local parsing, with only minor install and network-use considerations.

This appears safe for normal podcast discovery. Before installing helper dependencies, review or pin the Python packages if you need a controlled environment, and use the RSS fetching tool only for podcast feeds you intend to query.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Using the skill may send podcast feed requests to external podcast hosts or services.

Why it was flagged

The local helper fetches the supplied RSS URL over the network. This is necessary for episode lookup, but users should understand the skill can contact external feed URLs.

Recommendation

Use it for podcast lookup as intended, and avoid directing it to arbitrary or internal URLs.

What this means

If you install the helper dependencies, package versions could change over time.

Why it was flagged

The bundled Python dependencies are listed without version pins, so an installation may resolve whatever package versions are current at install time.

Recommendation

Consider pinning or reviewing dependency versions before installation in sensitive environments.
