SocQ Douyin Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent SocQ integration for public Douyin research, with normal external API and API-key use but a supply-chain caution around unpinned CLI execution.

Install this only if you trust SocQ with the Douyin queries, task metadata, and API-key-authenticated requests you send. Prefer a preinstalled or version-pinned `socq` CLI where possible, set spending limits on the SocQ API key, and approve large paid runs only after reviewing the estimated credit cost.

  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.

MCP Rug Pull
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill tells the agent to use `npx @socq/cli` without pinning a specific version, which can pull the latest package at execution time. That creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised upstream package, malicious update, or breaking change could be executed automatically in the agent environment.
