AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Installing the CLI adds an external executable that will handle the skill's searches, crawls, and API calls.

Why it was flagged

The skill depends on an external globally installed npm CLI that is not included in the reviewed artifacts; this is a normal setup pattern for a CLI integration, but users must trust the package source.

Skill content
If not, guide the user to install it:

npm install -g search1api-cli
Recommendation

Install the CLI only from a trusted npm source, verify the package and publisher, and avoid installing or running it with unnecessary privileges.

What this means

Using the skill may consume API credits or expose the key if it is mishandled outside this skill.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Search1API credential, which is expected for the service but gives the CLI access to the user's Search1API account and credits.

Skill content
An API key is also required... s1 config set-key <your-api-key> ... Or set the environment variable SEARCH1API_KEY.
Recommendation

Use a dedicated API key if possible, keep it secret, monitor usage, and rotate it if it may have been shared.

What this means

Sensitive prompts, private text, or confidential URLs included in these commands may be processed by external services.

Why it was flagged

The reasoning command can send user-provided content through the CLI to an external reasoning provider, so data boundaries depend on Search1API/DeepSeek handling.

Skill content
s1 reasoning "<content>"

Deep thinking powered by DeepSeek R1. Use for complex analytical questions.
Recommendation

Avoid sending secrets or private data through search, crawl, or reasoning commands unless you are comfortable with the provider's privacy and retention practices.
