Google Trends

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

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.

What this means

The agent may make network requests to Google Trends and may run simple local command examples when asked.

Why it was flagged

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.

Skill content
Use web_fetch to get Google Trends RSS:

curl -s "https://trends.google.com/trending/rss?geo=US" | head -100
Recommendation

Review the commands before running them and allow network access only for the Google Trends lookups you intend.

What this means

If enabled, the agent could run a daily trend-report task without a new manual prompt each time.

Why it was flagged

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.

Skill content
"schedule": { "kind": "cron", "expr": "0 9 * * *" },
"message": "Get today's Google Trends for US and LT. Summarize top 10 trends for each."
Recommendation

Only set up the cron job if you want recurring reports, and make sure you know how to pause or remove the schedule.
