Dataify Bing Shopping

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Bing Shopping API helper that uses a Dataify token only for confirmed search requests.

Before installing, understand that confirmed searches send your shopping query and Dataify API token to Dataify. Prefer a scoped or temporary token if available, review the parameter table before confirming, and avoid pasting tokens into shared chats or persistent shell profiles unless you intend that storage.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to read an environment variable (`DATAIFY_API_TOKEN`) and make live network calls, but it does not declare those capabilities as permissions. Undeclared access to secrets and outbound network use weakens user/operator visibility and consent, and could allow token use or data exfiltration through a skill that appears less privileged than it is.
