SocQ Kwai Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a coherent SocQ connector for public Kwai research, with expected external API use and some install/credential cautions.

Install only if you intend to use SocQ for public Kwai research and are comfortable sending requested Kwai identifiers, queries, task requests, and your SocQ API authentication to SocQ. Prefer a pinned or preinstalled socq CLI over ad hoc npx use when possible, and review expected credit costs before approving larger runs.

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.

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
Using `npx @socq/cli` without a pinned version allows the latest package version to be fetched and executed at runtime, creating a supply-chain risk. If the upstream package is compromised or a breaking release is published, agents may execute unintended code with access to the environment, including `SOCQ_API_KEY`.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
78% confidence
Finding
This manifest configures a hosted HTTP-based MCP tool for collecting and analyzing Kwai data, but the file provides no warning that using the skill will contact an external service. For markdown/manifest context, users should be informed when a skill interacts with remote systems or handles external data sources that may have privacy or system-impact implications.
