Security audit

social-listening-monitor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill openly runs a scoped social-search script using a SocialListeningAPI key to retrieve public posts, without persistence or hidden data handling.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable letting the agent spend SocialListeningAPI credits and send chosen search queries to that provider. Results are public-search leads and should be reviewed before making business decisions.

MCP Least Privilege

Finding
The skill instructs the agent to execute a local Node.js script and to pass sensitive/runtime values through environment variables, while the skill declares no corresponding permissions. That mismatch is dangerous because it hides the skill's effective capabilities from reviewers and policy enforcement, and the script also depends on an inherited API key plus outbound access to external platforms via SocialListeningAPI.
