Willhaben CLI

Willhaben CLI for searching Austria's largest classifieds marketplace. Search listings, view details, check seller profiles.

Security Scan

The skill's requirements and instructions match its stated purpose (running the whcli command-line tool); nothing requested looks disproportionate or unrelated.

Purpose & Capability

The skill is a CLI wrapper for willhaben.at and only requires the whcli binary. The install methods (Homebrew formula pasogott/tap/whcli or cloning the GitHub repo) match the stated purpose and homepage.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only documents installing and running whcli commands (search, show, seller). It does not instruct reading unrelated files, accessing unrelated environment variables, or sending data to unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

Recommended install is a third-party Homebrew tap (pasogott/tap) or cloning the project's GitHub repo. Both are normal for a community CLI, but third-party taps and source installs execute code from an external author — verify the tap/formula and the repo before installing. The source instruction uses an unknown tool 'uv' (uv sync / uv run) which will fetch/build dependencies; confirm what 'uv' does before running.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The absence of secret access is appropriate for a read-only search/browse CLI that does not implement login.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true or any system-level persistent privileges. It simply requires the whcli binary to be present; autonomous invocation (default) is normal for skills and is not combined with other risky attributes here.

Assessment

This skill appears internally consistent: it just runs the whcli command-line tool. Before installing, verify the GitHub repo and the Homebrew tap owner (pasogott) to ensure you trust the source. If installing from source, inspect the repository and confirm what the 'uv' tool does (it will fetch/build dependencies). Installing a third-party Homebrew tap or running build tools pulls code from another author — if you are uncomfortable, avoid installing system-wide and run it in a container or VM first. Otherwise, no secrets are requested and the skill's scope is limited.
