Journalism Agent

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent journalism and newsletter helper, with a clear privacy caveat because image searches and generation prompts can be sent to nkimages.com.

Install if you are comfortable with a journalism workflow that performs web research, checks sources, assembles local newsletter HTML, and may send image queries or generation prompts to nkimages.com. For sensitive newsroom, client, investigative, or embargoed work, use sanitized image queries, provide your own images, or avoid the external image-generation path.

Finding
The skill instructs the agent to send queries and prompts to third-party services for image search and AI generation without any requirement to warn the user or obtain consent. This can leak user-provided topics, publication plans, or sensitive contextual details to external providers, especially in newsroom or embargoed workflows.
