Knowledge Base with Faiss and Bailian (embedding and rerank)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed knowledge-base indexing and search skill that stores files locally and uses Alibaba Cloud for its advertised embedding and reranking features.

Install only if you are comfortable sending semantic indexing/query text and rerank candidate passages to Alibaba Cloud Bailian. Use keyword retrieval for local-only querying, keep the Bailian key scoped appropriately, and pin dependencies in controlled or sensitive deployments.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill sends query text and indexed document/chunk text to remote Bailian embedding and rerank APIs, which can include sensitive local knowledge-base contents and user prompts. In a local KB tool, this is security-relevant because operators may assume processing is local; undisclosed off-host transmission can expose proprietary, regulated, or personal data to a third party.
