Google AI Mode API - AI Answers with Cited Sources

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward third-party API integration that sends user queries to Scavio to retrieve Google's AI Mode-style answers.

Install only if you are comfortable sending the queries you ask this skill to answer to Scavio and using a Scavio API key with billable credits. Avoid submitting secrets, confidential business information, or sensitive personal data as search queries unless that is acceptable under your own data-sharing requirements.

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
