Youmind Youtube Transcript

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This transcript skill mostly matches its stated purpose, but it needs Review because it grants broad YouMind shell access and may send/save video data under broad triggers.

Install only if you trust YouMind and its npm CLI. Use it for explicit YouTube transcript requests, avoid private or sensitive videos unless you are comfortable storing them in your YouMind account, keep API keys in environment variables, and review any command beyond the documented install, board lookup, createMaterialByUrl, getMaterial, and transcript-file workflow.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
Broad triggers like 'watch video', 'watch youtube', 'summarize video', and similar generic phrases can cause accidental invocation on ordinary conversations. That can lead to unintended transmission of user-supplied URLs and metadata to YouMind, unexpected file generation, and unanticipated use of API-backed actions on third-party content.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill prominently advertises transcript extraction but does not clearly warn users that video URLs, transcript data, and metadata are sent to YouMind's service and saved to a YouMind board. This lack of disclosure can cause users to share private or sensitive video material without informed consent, increasing privacy and compliance risk.
