Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed DataForSEO helper that makes paid SEO API calls with cost checks and no bundled executable code.

Install only if you intend to use DataForSEO and are comfortable with paid external API calls. Review the separate DataForSEO extension and credentials setup, set an appropriate daily budget, and specify location/language when US English is not what you want.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The guidance says to use default parameters '(US, English)' unless the user specifies otherwise. This sets a specific language/locale as the default behavior without offering an explicit opt-in or neutral fallback, which can violate language/locale policy expectations.

Vague Triggers

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding

The instruction to 'Load this reference when you need to find a specific DataForSEO MCP tool that is not covered by the main SKILL.md commands' is a broad activation condition without clear scope boundaries or exclusion examples. It does not specify concrete trigger phrases, contexts, or negative examples, which can make invocation ambiguous in routine SEO-related conversations.
