Security audit
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This skill is a straightforward X/Twitter search helper that sends user-provided search terms to xAI as disclosed by its purpose and setup instructions.
Install this only if you are comfortable sending your X/Twitter search terms, filters, and xAI API key-authenticated requests to xAI. Keep the API key scoped and protected, and avoid searching sensitive personal or confidential terms through this skill.
The skill invokes Python, requires an API key from the environment, and makes outbound network requests, but it does not declare an explicit tool scope such as permissions or allowed-tools. That weakens least-privilege enforcement and makes the skill’s effective capabilities less transparent to the host, increasing the chance of unintended execution with broader access than necessary.
The invocation guidance includes expansive phrases like 'find tweets,' 'look up what people are saying on X,' and 'find social media posts about a topic' without clear boundaries or exclusion conditions. This makes activation scope ambiguous and increases the chance the skill is invoked for general social-media or research requests beyond the intended X-specific search use case.
Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

The script sends the user’s raw search query and selected filters to the external xAI API, but the code itself provides no explicit user-facing disclosure or consent mechanism at the point of transmission. In an agent skill context, users may assume local handling unless clearly told otherwise, so sensitive terms, names, or investigative queries could be exposed to a third party.
No suspicious patterns detected.
