Google Trends
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears benign: it fetches public Google Trends data and includes an optional daily automation example, with no credential, local-data, or destructive behavior shown.
This looks safe for basic Google Trends research. Before installing, note that it performs web requests to Google Trends and optionally can be scheduled as a daily automated report; do not enable the cron workflow unless you want that recurring behavior.
Findings (2)
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.
The agent may make network requests to Google Trends and may run simple local command examples when asked.
The skill instructs use of web_fetch and shell commands to retrieve Google Trends data. This is expected for the stated purpose and is limited to public Google Trends URLs.
Use web_fetch to get Google Trends RSS: curl -s "https://trends.google.com/trending/rss?geo=US" | head -100
Review the commands before running them and allow network access only for the Google Trends lookups you intend.
If enabled, the agent could run a daily trend-report task without a new manual prompt each time.
The documentation shows an optional recurring scheduled agent turn for daily monitoring. It is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it creates ongoing automated activity if the user configures it.
"schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 9 * * *" },
"message": "Get today's Google Trends for US and LT. Summarize top 10 trends for each."Only set up the cron job if you want recurring reports, and make sure you know how to pause or remove the schedule.
