perplexity-research-aisa

Produce citation-backed deep research answers through Perplexity Sonar models via AISA. Use when: the user needs synthesized research, comparative analysis,...

Security Scan

The skill is internally consistent: it runs a bundled Python client and requires only AISA_API_KEY and python3 to call the aisa.one APIs, which matches its stated purpose of producing Perplexity Sonar-backed research.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the required pieces: the script calls AISA endpoints and requires AISA_API_KEY and python3. Requested env var and binary are appropriate and proportional for a remote research/search client.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the included Python client (python3 scripts/search_client.py). The client performs network calls to https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1 and may POST queries and aggregated search results (e.g., to /scholar/explain). It does not read local config files or other environment variables beyond AISA_API_KEY, nor does it request local secret stores — but it does transmit query text and fetched result payloads to an external service, so user data and fetched page content will be visible to that API.

Install Mechanism

No install spec (instruction-only install); included code file is executed directly by the agent. This is low-risk compared with arbitrary downloads. The code is present in the package (scripts/search_client.py) and not fetched from an untrusted URL.

Credentials

Only AISA_API_KEY is required (declared as primaryEnv). No unrelated secrets or system config paths are requested. The single credential is appropriate for an API client.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent/privileged presence or alter other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other privilege escalation indicators.

Assessment

This skill will send your queries and any retrieved page content to the external AISA API (api.aisa.one) using the AISA_API_KEY you provide. Only install if you trust AISA and are comfortable that query text and fetched content may be transmitted. Do not use this skill to research or upload confidential secrets or internal documents. Verify the skill's origin (the included _meta.json points to a GitHub repo; the registry owner ID differs from that repo owner) before trusting it, and consider using a limited-scope or rotateable API key. If you need stronger guarantees about data handling, review AISA's privacy/terms or avoid sending sensitive content to third-party APIs.

Perplexity Research

When to Use

• Produce citation-backed deep research answers through Perplexity Sonar models via AISA. Use when: the user needs synthesized research, comparative analysis, or long-form cited answers instead of raw link lists.

When NOT to Use

• Do not use this skill for browser-cookie extraction, passwords, Keychain access, or other local sensitive credential access.
• Prefer a different skill when the user request is outside this skill's domain.

Capabilities

• Generate cited research answers with configurable Sonar model depth.

Quick Start

export AISA_API_KEY="your-key"

Primary Runtime

Use the bundled Python client as the canonical ClawHub runtime path:

python3 scripts/search_client.py

Example Queries

• Research global AI regulation trends and return a cited summary.

Notes

• Best when synthesis matters more than raw result recall.
