Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed TikTok Shop research workflow that sends user-chosen search inputs to Apify and does not show hidden persistence or unrelated data access.

Install only if you are comfortable using Apify for TikTok research. Use your own Apify token, set maxItems to control cost and data volume, avoid putting sensitive private information into keywords or customMapFunction, and review any separate helper script before running it.
