Exa Neural Query Planner

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a prompt-only planning skill for Exa searches, with no code execution, credential handling, persistence, or network access in the artifact.

Users should understand this skill only prepares search plans; another tool or skill would still perform any actual Exa or web requests. Avoid entering API keys into the planning prompt, which the skill itself also instructs.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding

The manifest sets language: "en", which indicates an English-only constraint in the skill metadata. Under the policy rule, forcing a specific language without user choice or a documented justification is a natural-language policy concern.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding

The manifest explicitly sets the skill language to "en" with no indication that users can opt into another language or that the restriction is required for a region-specific purpose. This is a natural-language policy concern because it imposes a locale preference rather than offering a choice.
