Security audit

Gemini Deep Research

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it says: send user-requested research jobs to Gemini and save the resulting reports locally.

Install only if you are comfortable sending research prompts and any selected Gemini file-search context to Google's Gemini service. Use an environment variable rather than passing the API key on the command line on shared machines, monitor quota or cost for long-running jobs, and choose a private output directory when reports or response metadata may contain sensitive material.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The script persists both the generated report and the full API response to local disk by default, which may include sensitive user queries, proprietary research content, file-search-derived data, or metadata. Because this happens automatically without an explicit warning or opt-in, users may unintentionally leave sensitive material in shared directories, backups, or CI workspaces.
