Web Scraper as a Service

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed web-scraping assistant with powerful but purpose-aligned network, shell, and file-writing abilities, and no evidence of hidden or malicious behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with an agent that can contact websites, generate and run scraper code, and write local deliverable files. Use it only for sites you are authorized to scrape, check robots.txt and terms, avoid personal data unless explicitly authorized, and prefer a truthful User-Agent over generic browser impersonation.

Finding
The skill contains conflicting guidance: it claims scrapers should use an honest identity, but also mandates User-Agent rotation with generic browser impersonation strings. That inconsistency can lead the agent to generate deceptive scraping behavior that bypasses transparency expectations, increasing legal, policy, and anti-abuse risk for users and clients.
