Security audit
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This skill is a disclosed eBay research helper that sends public listing, item, and seller queries to Crawlora's API using an API key.
Install only if you are comfortable sending eBay search terms, item IDs, seller names, and your Crawlora API key to Crawlora. Avoid putting private customer, business, or account-sensitive information into searches unless that third-party transmission is acceptable for your use case.
The skill invokes shell commands (scripts/crawlora.sh ...) but does not declare any permissions or allowed-tools scope. That creates an avoidable trust gap: an agent may execute shell access more broadly than intended, and future edits to the helper script could introduce more dangerous behavior without any manifest-level restriction.
The skill is explicitly designed to send user-supplied search terms, item IDs, and seller identifiers to a third-party service at api.crawlora.net using an authenticated API key. In a research skill, this is expected behavior, but it still creates a real external-data-transmission boundary and potential privacy/compliance risk if users are not informed or if sensitive inputs are passed through unredacted.
Endpoints this skill uses, grouped by platform. Call them via `scripts/crawlora.sh` (see SKILL.md).
All paths are relative to the API base `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1` and require the header `x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY`. Path params like `{id}` are substituted into the URL; `GET` params go in the query string; `POST` params go in a JSON body.

This markdown file documents calls to an external API and requires the x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY header, which implies both outbound network transmission and use of a sensitive credential. Under the markdown-specific warning criterion, the file should disclose privacy/system-impact considerations of sending request data to a third-party service.
