Scavio Google Maps

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Google Maps lookup skill that sends map-related requests to Scavio as disclosed and shows no hidden code or unrelated data access.

Install only if you are comfortable using Scavio as the data provider and sending your map searches, locations, place IDs, and business names to its API under your SCAVIO_API_KEY. Watch credit usage, especially for geo-grid requests, because larger grids cost more credits.
