Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 90% confidence
• Finding: The trigger phrases are very broad and match common requests like 'help me look up' or 'summarize this topic,' which can cause the skill to auto-activate outside the user's specific intent to use this tool. In an agent environment, overbroad activation increases the chance of unnecessary external searches and scraping, creating privacy, consent, and tool-misuse risks.
