Nansen Web Fetcher

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This skill coherently uses the Nansen CLI and API key to fetch and summarize web URLs, with only expected notes around external service use, credential setup, and a broad CLI permission.

This appears safe for its stated purpose. Before installing, make sure you trust the nansen-cli package and the Nansen/Gemini processing path, and avoid submitting sensitive private URLs or confidential questions unless that is acceptable for your account and data policy.

#
ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Low
What this means

The agent may be able to run more Nansen CLI operations than just fetching URLs, depending on what the installed CLI supports.

Why it was flagged

The permission allows any nansen CLI subcommand, while the skill documentation is centered on web fetch and related search examples.

Skill content
allowed-tools: Bash(nansen:*)
Recommendation

Install only if you are comfortable granting the agent access to the Nansen CLI; prefer a narrower tool rule if available.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Info
What this means

Use of the skill will depend on your Nansen API credentials and may consume quota or access services tied to your account.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Nansen API key, which is expected for using the Nansen service but still represents delegated account access.

Skill content
requires:\n      env:\n        - NANSEN_API_KEY
Recommendation

Use a dedicated or least-privileged API key if possible, and rotate or revoke it if you no longer use the skill.

#
ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

The code that actually runs comes from the external nansen-cli package rather than from files included in this skill artifact.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on installing an external npm CLI package, and the artifact does not pin an exact package version.

Skill content
node | package: nansen-cli | creates binaries: nansen
Recommendation

Install from a trusted package registry source and consider pinning or reviewing the nansen-cli package version in managed environments.

#
ASI07: Insecure Inter-Agent Communication
Info
What this means

URLs and questions submitted through this skill may be sent to Nansen and/or Gemini for processing.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses that URL content and the user's question are processed through an external AI/provider flow.

Skill content
Fetch and analyze content from one or more URLs using AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash).
Recommendation

Avoid using the skill with private, access-controlled, or sensitive URLs unless you are comfortable with that provider data flow.
