Netstatus

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward network-status helper, with one disclosed external public-IP lookup users should understand before use.

Before installing, understand that running the public IP/location check contacts ipinfo.io, so that service will see your public IP and request metadata. The skill otherwise appears limited to user-visible network and system status checks.

Missing User Warnings

Finding
The skill explicitly uses `curl` to query `https://ipinfo.io/json` for public IP geolocation, which sends the user's public IP and request metadata to a third-party service, but the skill description and usage guidance do not clearly warn the user about this external disclosure. In a network-status skill, users may expect local inspection only, so the omission creates a privacy risk and reduces informed consent.
