Overview

This is a straightforward Sciverse academic-retrieval skill that uses a declared API token to query Sciverse endpoints.

Install only if you intend to use Sciverse academic retrieval and are comfortable providing a Sciverse API token. Treat SCIVERSE_API_TOKEN as a private secret, avoid committing it or sharing logs/screenshots that contain it, and rotate it if exposed.

Missing User Warnings

Low

• Confidence: 82% confidence
• Finding: The README tells users to export `SCIVERSE_API_TOKEN` but does not state that it is a sensitive secret, should not be committed to source control, and should be stored securely. This can lead to accidental token exposure through shell history, screenshots, logs, shared environment files, or copied setup snippets, enabling unauthorized use of the associated API account.
