Bocha Web Search

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

Some prompts may be sent for web search whenever the agent decides current information or verification is needed.

Why it was flagged

The skill authorizes broad autonomous use of the search API when the agent is unsure. This fits a default web search tool, but users should know it may perform lookups even without an explicit search request.

Skill content
If uncertain whether online lookup is required, perform a search.
Recommendation

Use this skill if you are comfortable with agent-initiated searches; avoid including secrets or private details in requests that may be searched.

What this means

The skill can use the configured Bocha account/API quota when making searches.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Bocha API key to authenticate requests. This is expected for the stated API integration and there is no evidence of unrelated credential use.

Skill content
requires:
      env:
        - BOCHA_API_KEY
Recommendation

Use a dedicated Bocha API key with appropriate spending, quota, and revocation controls.

What this means

Search terms, and any sensitive information included in them, may be transmitted to Bocha.

Why it was flagged

The artifact clearly shows that user search queries are sent to Bocha's external API. This is purpose-aligned, but it is still an external data flow.

Skill content
POST https://api.bocha.cn/v1/web-search

Request body ... "query": "<USER_QUERY>"
Recommendation

Do not include secrets, private documents, or sensitive personal data in searches unless you are comfortable sharing them with the provider.
