Scavio Google Maps

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward Scavio Google Maps helper that uses a user-provided API key to search places, fetch details, and read reviews.

Before installing, understand that map searches and any precise coordinates or place IDs you provide will be sent to Scavio using your API key and may consume credits; avoid sending sensitive location intent unless you are comfortable with that provider handling it.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly sends user-supplied search terms and potentially sensitive location parameters to a third-party API, but it does not warn users about this data transmission in the setup/usage description. This is a real privacy transparency issue because users may unknowingly disclose location intent, business interest, or review lookup behavior to Scavio.
