Finding

The skill instructs the agent to type user-provided keywords into Xiaohongshu via browser automation, which transmits those terms to an external third-party service, but it does not warn users about that data disclosure. This is dangerous because users may provide sensitive business, personal, or investigative terms assuming local processing, causing unintended privacy leakage to the target website and any associated tracking or logging systems.
