Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Apify Google Search scraper workflow for monitoring tech acquisition news, with the external API use disclosed and aligned with its purpose.

Install this only if you are comfortable sending your chosen search terms and actor inputs to Apify using your APIFY_TOKEN. Avoid putting confidential deal names, secrets, or sensitive internal strategy into searchTerms or customMapFunction unless that sharing is acceptable for your Apify account and workflow.
