RootData Crypto

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed RootData lookup integration that sends crypto research queries to RootData and stores a low-privilege local API key.

Install only if you are comfortable with the agent creating and storing a RootData API key locally and sending your crypto research queries to RootData. Treat ROOTDATA_SKILL_KEY like a credential in logs or screenshots, and note the minor version mismatch in package metadata.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence

Finding
This markdown file applies to SQP-2, and it explicitly tells the agent to save a returned `api_key` as `ROOTDATA_SKILL_KEY`. Although it includes a security note describing the key as low-privilege, it does not clearly warn the user that the key will be persisted locally in the agent environment and may remain there until removed.
