Google Maps

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a legitimate Google Maps helper, but it can print your Google API key inside returned photo URLs.

Install only if you are comfortable sending map and place queries to Google. Use a restricted Google Maps API key with quotas, and avoid sharing transcripts or logs from place search/details results until the skill is patched to stop printing API keys in photo URLs.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
The skill declares only `allowed-tools: [exec]` while the documented behavior clearly depends on environment variables and outbound requests to Google Maps APIs. This creates a permissions/behavior transparency gap: operators may approve the skill without understanding that it reads API keys from the environment and transmits user-supplied locations over the network.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill handles sensitive user-provided location queries but does not clearly warn that those queries are sent to Google Maps APIs. Location, address, and route data can reveal home/work addresses, habits, and travel plans, so missing disclosure undermines informed consent and can cause unintended third-party data exposure.
