Transcribe audio files via OpenRouter using audio-capable models

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill does what it claims: it transcribes user-selected audio by sending it to OpenRouter with the user's API key.

Install only if you are comfortable sending chosen audio files, prompts, and OpenRouter request metadata to OpenRouter and the selected model provider. Use an API key intended for this purpose, monitor usage or billing, and avoid sensitive recordings unless third-party processing is approved.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill sends user-provided audio to OpenRouter, a third-party service, but the description and quick-start guidance do not clearly foreground that data leaves the local environment. This creates a real privacy and compliance risk because users may upload sensitive recordings without informed consent or awareness of external processing.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The script uploads the full audio content to OpenRouter for transcription, but its interface and help text do not clearly warn users that the supplied file will be transmitted to a third-party service. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk, especially if users process sensitive recordings under the assumption that transcription happens locally.
