Overview

This skill is a straightforward Zotero helper that saves paper details to the user's Zotero library using user-provided credentials.

Before installing, use a Zotero API key scoped to the library actions you actually want, understand that paper metadata, summaries, links, and any attached PDFs may be uploaded to Zotero, and avoid passing private paper notes or sensitive summaries unless you intend to store them there.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 87% confidence
• Finding: The documentation instructs users to provide Zotero credentials and describes saving content to a remote Zotero library, but it does not clearly warn that data and secrets will be transmitted over the network. Even if this is expected for Zotero integration, the lack of explicit disclosure reduces informed consent and may cause users to submit sensitive metadata, summaries, or API credentials without understanding the transmission scope.
