Overview

This skill is a straightforward Serper web-search helper, with normal third-party query and API-key privacy considerations.

Install only if you are comfortable sending search terms to Serper and using a Serper API key. Avoid searching for secrets, sensitive personal data, or internal-only project details, and prefer setting SERPER_API_KEY as an environment variable instead of pasting keys inline.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The skill sends user queries to a third-party API, but the description does not warn that search terms will leave the local environment and be disclosed to Serper. This creates a privacy and data-handling risk because users may unknowingly submit sensitive prompts, internal project names, or personal data to an external service.
