Security audit

Google Search Nino

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small, disclosed Google Custom Search helper that needs normal API-key care but does not show hidden or harmful behavior.

Install only if you intend to use Google Custom Search and are comfortable providing a Google API key and search engine ID. Keep those credentials out of version control and prefer platform-managed secrets or user-level environment variables over a workspace .env file.

MCP Least Privilege

Finding
The skill documents use of environment variables for API credentials and invokes a Python script that performs outbound network access, but it does not declare corresponding permissions. This creates a transparency and policy-enforcement gap: agents or operators may run the skill without realizing it can read secrets from the environment and transmit data to external services.
