Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently provides read-only access to public Threads and Bluesky data through ClawLink, with pricing and setup disclosed.

Before installing, understand that this uses the ClawLink plugin, requires a one-time ClawLink pairing, and spends ClawLink credit per data call. Use it for public Threads and Bluesky reading only; avoid large batches unless you approve the cost, and be aware that troubleshooting reports contact ClawLink.

Vulnerability Patterns

Finding

The manifest frames this skill as a read-only tool for searching and reading public Threads and Bluesky content. Line L159 instructs use of clawlink_report_issue, which contacts the ClawLink team rather than retrieving social data, adding a support/reporting capability not justified by the stated purpose.
