Security Scan

The skill appears to call a third‑party API for World Bank data, but its documentation is internally inconsistent (claims 'free' yet shows a paid endpoint) and points to an unfamiliar payment-enabled host — audit before trusting or routing sensitive data to it.

Purpose & Capability

The skill's stated purpose (World Bank economic indicators) matches the runtime instructions (POST to an API that returns indicators). However the SKILL.md is inconsistent: it says 'No subscription' / 'free' while the Access section advertises a $0.01 USDC per call endpoint on a third‑party domain (x402.ntriq.co.kr). The third‑party host is not the World Bank and the pay-per-use model is unexpected given the 'free' claim.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited and concrete: call the specified HTTPS endpoint or query the service catalog via curl. The SKILL.md does not instruct the agent to read local files, environment variables, or other system state. It does, however, direct data to an external third‑party endpoint and references micropayments, so any data sent goes off‑platform to that host.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code artifacts are included; this is an instruction‑only skill that relies on network calls. That minimizes local install risk.

Credentials

The skill declares no required credentials or env vars (proportional). But the service advertises micropayments (USDC on Base) and may require payment or wallet interaction off‑band; the SKILL.md does not explain how payments/auth are handled. This mismatch could surprise users or require them to expose wallet/payment info outside the skill.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request persistent privileges, does not set always:true, and cannot install code on disk. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but is not combined with extra privileges.

What to consider before installing

This skill appears to be a thin wrapper for a third‑party API at x402.ntriq.co.kr that claims to provide World Bank indicators. Before installing or using it: 1) note the SKILL.md contradiction — it says 'free' but lists a $0.01 USDC per‑call endpoint; verify whether calls will actually be charged. 2) Confirm the reputation and privacy policy of x402.ntriq.co.kr (not the official World Bank site). 3) Never provide private wallet keys or secrets to the skill; if payment is required, ensure payments happen through a trusted wallet UX rather than pasting secrets into prompts. 4) Test with non‑sensitive queries first and monitor network requests. 5) If you need official World Bank data, prefer calling the World Bank's official API (data.worldbank.org or api.worldbank.org) or a well‑known aggregator.
