Pipeworx ipinfo

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple IP lookup skill that connects to disclosed external services, with privacy considerations users should understand before using it.

Install only if you are comfortable routing IP lookup requests through Pipeworx and ipinfo.io. Avoid submitting sensitive internal, customer, investigative, or regulated IP data unless that disclosure is acceptable, and consider pinning `mcp-remote` instead of using `@latest` where possible.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs users to connect to a remote MCP endpoint that forwards requests to ipinfo.io, but it does not clearly warn that lookups send data to external services and may disclose the user's own IP address or queried IPs to third parties. This creates a privacy and data-handling risk because users may unknowingly expose sensitive infrastructure, customer, or personal network information outside their local environment.
