Finding

The skill explicitly guides the agent to search for, enrich, and organize identifiable individuals' professional profiles, including names, titles, companies, profile URLs, and background details, but provides no privacy guardrails, lawful-use constraints, or minimization guidance. In context, this increases the risk of doxxing, targeted harassment, non-consensual profiling, or misuse for spam/outreach, especially because it encourages compiling structured person-level results from multiple sources.
