Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to fetch public Google Trends RSS data and display it, with no evidence of credential use, persistence, or local data access.

Before installing, understand that this skill contacts Google Trends over the network to retrieve public trending-search data. It does not require an API key or access to your local files, though the publisher should ideally declare the trends.google.com network permission explicitly.

Medium

Category: MCP Least Privilege
Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The skill explicitly instructs the agent to fetch data from an external Google Trends RSS endpoint, which is a network capability, but no corresponding permission is declared. Undeclared network access weakens policy enforcement and user/operator awareness, and can allow a skill to make external requests without the expected security review or runtime controls.
