Google AI Mode API - AI Answers with Cited Sources

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward third-party API skill for fetching Google AI Mode answers through Scavio, with its required API key and per-request cost disclosed.

Before installing, understand that your queries will be sent to Scavio's API and each successful call uses credits. Keep SCAVIO_API_KEY out of source control, avoid sending sensitive private information in queries, and verify important answers using the returned references.

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
