LinkedIn API

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed LinkedIn data API skill that uses an agntdata API key for expected external API calls, with privacy and credential-handling caveats for users to consider.

Install this only if you intend to use agntdata as a third-party LinkedIn data provider. Treat AGNTDATA_API_KEY as a sensitive credential, use a scoped or revocable key if available, avoid querying or storing more personal/professional data than needed, and make sure your use of LinkedIn-derived data fits your legal, platform, and privacy obligations.

Missing User Warnings

Confidence
87% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly promotes broad LinkedIn profile, company, jobs, and network data retrieval using a bearer token, but it does not include any user-facing privacy, consent, acceptable-use, or data-handling guidance. That omission increases the risk that an agent will collect or process personal/professional data without appropriate notice, minimization, or compliance checks.

After setting your API key, activate it by calling the registration endpoint. This only needs to be done once per key:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.agntdata.dev/v1/register \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGNTDATA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"intendedApis": ["linkedin"], "useCase": "Brief description of your use case"}'
