Brave Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This Brave Search skill is a disclosed read-only search connector wrapper, with the main caution being a conditional remote installer command for the required OOMOL CLI.

Install this only if you intend to route Brave Search through an OOMOL-connected account. Before running the first-time setup, verify that you trust the OOMOL CLI installer and only connect the Brave Search API key you are comfortable using through OOMOL.

Intent-Code Divergence

Low
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The file explicitly lists only four search actions (`image_search`, `news_search`, `video_search`, `web_search`), all of which are read-only. The Safety section then warns about create/update/send/post and delete/remove actions that do not appear to exist for this skill, which contradicts the documented action set and misstates the skill's intent.
