NewsData.io

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed NewsData.io connector wrapper for reading public news data through OOMOL, with a notable but user-controlled CLI installation caveat.

Install only if you intend to use NewsData.io through OOMOL. Before running the optional `oo` CLI installer, review OOMOL's install instructions or use a trusted package source where available, and connect only the NewsData.io credentials you are comfortable using through OOMOL.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The trigger text says to use this skill for ANY NewsData.io request and instead of calling the API directly, which is overly broad and can cause the agent to invoke the skill for loosely related requests without sufficient user intent verification. Overbroad routing increases the chance of unintended external data access or unnecessary connector use, especially in autonomous agent settings where invocation descriptions drive tool selection.
