Zotero

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed Zotero connector that can read and modify Zotero data, with explicit confirmation steps for write and delete actions.

Install only if you intend to let the agent use your connected Zotero account through OOMOL. Review write and delete payloads carefully before approving them, especially item or collection deletions.

Finding
The description says to use this skill for ANY Zotero request and instead of calling the API directly, which is an overly broad trigger that can cause the agent to invoke the skill in situations where a narrower, more appropriate tool or safer workflow should be chosen. Because this skill supports read, write, and destructive operations, broad auto-selection increases the chance of unintended data modification or deletion if the agent routes ambiguous Zotero-related requests here without sufficient confirmation.
