Perplexity Deep Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Perplexity API search wrapper that discloses its credential use, external requests, and higher-cost modes.

Install only if you are comfortable sending your search prompts to Perplexity and using your Perplexity API key. Use a dedicated key if possible, keep ~/.config/perplexity/api_key permission-restricted, and be aware that research mode can incur higher API costs.
