network hot topics

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This instruction-only skill gathers public trending topics using web search or public APIs and does not request local data, credentials, persistence, or privileged actions.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent contacting search providers or public hot-topic APIs to answer live trend requests. Avoid asking it to process sensitive private information alongside those searches.

Finding
The README explicitly states the skill fetches live hot-topic data from external platforms and web search, but it does not disclose that using the skill will trigger outbound network requests and may send user queries or context to third-party services. This is primarily a transparency and privacy issue rather than an exploit primitive, but in an agent setting it can still surprise users and cause unintended data exposure to external providers.
