Security audit

Mentions Discover

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a narrowly scoped MentionsAPI helper that uses a disclosed API key to send brand query-discovery requests to a fixed external API.

Install only if you trust MentionsAPI and are comfortable storing MENTIONSAPI_KEY locally. Each discover_queries call is documented as costing $0.50, so confirm the brand and count before use.

Finding
The skill documentation indicates access to sensitive environment data (`MENTIONSAPI_KEY`) and external network interaction, but it does not declare explicit permissions. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: a host may expose credentials or allow outbound requests without users and orchestrators having a clear, machine-readable permission model to review or restrict.
