Overview

This is a simple web-research instruction skill that asks the agent to search and cite sources, with no hidden code or privileged behavior found.

Install only if you want the agent to perform live web research. Avoid including confidential information in research prompts, because search queries and fetched pages may reveal the topic to external providers.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 92% confidence
• Finding: The skill recommends invocation on very broad phrases like "the latest," "news," and "research," which overlap with many ordinary user requests and can cause over-triggering. In practice, this can route unrelated prompts into a web-access workflow, increasing exposure to prompt injection, unreliable external content, and unintended tool use.
