Security audit

Dataify Google Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Dataify Google Search connector that asks for confirmation before making a scoped API call.

Before installing, understand that the skill sends confirmed search parameters to Dataify using your DATAIFY_API_TOKEN. If you choose to store the token permanently, treat it like any other API secret and avoid pasting it into shared logs or transcripts.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to read environment data for DATAIFY_API_TOKEN, read local reference/script files, and make outbound network requests, but no explicit permissions are declared. This creates a permission-model gap where users and the platform may not have clear visibility or enforcement over sensitive capabilities, increasing the risk of unintended secret access or external data exfiltration if the skill is misused or modified.
