Perplexity Web Search
Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk
Overview
This appears to be a straightforward Perplexity-powered web search skill with no evidence of hidden persistence, destructive behavior, or unrelated access.
Reasonable to install if you want Perplexity-backed web search. Use a dedicated API key if possible, avoid sending secrets or private URLs in search queries, and review Perplexity's data handling expectations for anything sensitive.
