Security audit

Biomolecular Structure Prediction

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill’s purpose is coherent, but it gives live external Markdown docs too much authority over API invocation code while using a local API key and uploading user data.

Install only if you trust SciMiner’s API documentation source and are comfortable sending your API key-authenticated requests and uploaded biomolecular inputs to SciMiner. Prefer using it with non-sensitive test data first, and do not provide proprietary sequences, ligands, structures, or credentials unless that external-service risk is acceptable.

5. Collect any missing required parameters from the user.
6. Upload required file inputs exactly as described by the selected Markdown
   doc and replace local paths with returned `file_id` values.
7. Write or run the invocation code directly from the selected Markdown doc's
   base-information block, parameter table, file-upload instructions, and
   example code. Do not apply a shared invocation template or local registry
   abstraction in this skill.

Finding
This instruction tells the agent to write or run invocation code directly from remote Markdown documentation on every use. That creates a prompt/code-injection surface where a compromised or malicious external doc could alter request logic, trigger unsafe actions, or induce the agent to mishandle local files and credentials; the presence of an accessible API key makes this context more sensitive.
