Google Hotels API - Hotel Search, Rates, Ratings, Amenities

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Google Hotels search helper that uses a disclosed Scavio API key and paid API calls without hidden code or persistence.

Before installing, understand that hotel searches will be sent to Scavio using your SCAVIO_API_KEY and will consume paid or free account credits. Keep the API key in your environment or secret store, not 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
