Overview

This is a disclosed Dataify DuckDuckGo search skill, but it handles a Dataify API token in a way users should review before installing.

Install only if you are comfortable sending search queries to Dataify and using a Dataify API token. Prefer setting DATAIFY_API_TOKEN in a controlled environment or using an interactive secret prompt rather than passing the token as --token in a shell command, and make sure the preview/confirmation step is followed before any search request.

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 87% confidence
• Finding: The skill invokes a local Python script that reads secrets from the environment and performs outbound network requests, yet it declares no permissions. This creates a capability mismatch that can bypass user and platform expectations about what the skill is allowed to access, especially since it may transmit a provided or environment-sourced API token during external requests.
