Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a real remote search skill, but it sends the API key and search queries to a different API host than the documentation advertises.

Review before installing. Use only a limited or throwaway SkillBoss key until the maintainer explains and fixes the API-host mismatch, and avoid sending secrets, customer data, or confidential business content in search queries.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The skill sends user queries to a third-party service (SkillBoss API Hub) but does not clearly warn users that their prompts and search terms leave the local agent environment. This is dangerous because users may submit sensitive, proprietary, regulated, or personal data under the assumption that the search is local or first-party, causing unintended disclosure to an external processor.
