Disease Investigation

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 13, 2026.

Overview

This instruction-only skill is coherent for disease and pharmaceutical research, but it requires connecting a third-party PatSnap MCP service with an API key.

This skill appears benign and purpose-aligned for disease and pharmaceutical research. Before installing, confirm that your organization approves PatSnap MCP use, configure a dedicated API key, and avoid submitting confidential patient or business information unless the provider relationship is approved.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The skill can use the PatSnap account/API access associated with the key you configure.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a PatSnap API key to access the external life-science MCP service. This is expected for the integration, but it is still a sensitive credential.

Skill content
Log in to https://open.patsnap.com, go to **API Keys**, and create a new key.
Recommendation

Use a dedicated API key with the minimum necessary access, rotate it if exposed, and remove the MCP configuration when no longer needed.

What this means

Disease, patent, drug-pipeline, or business-development queries may be processed by the third-party MCP provider.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on a remote MCP server endpoint, so relevant prompts/tool calls may be sent to an external PatSnap service.

Recommendation

Avoid sending confidential business or patient-identifying information unless your organization has approved this provider and configuration.

What this means

When the skill is invoked, the agent may contact the PatSnap MCP service before answering.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to automatically make a lightweight MCP tool call before answering. This is disclosed and limited to checking connectivity, but it is still automatic tool use.

Skill content
Before processing any user query after this skill loads, the following connectivity check MUST be performed.
Recommendation

Install only if you are comfortable with automatic connectivity checks to the configured PatSnap MCP service for relevant disease-investigation tasks.
