Google Flights API - Route Search, Prices, Carriers, Stops

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward flight-search helper that uses a disclosed third-party API key and paid API calls to return structured airfare data.

Before installing, understand that searches require a Scavio account/API key, each request costs 1 credit, and route/date/passenger search parameters are sent to Scavio's API. Keep the API key in environment or secret storage and avoid putting a real key in source code.

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
