NotebookLM Ops

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The agent and its helper scripts may operate with your logged-in Google session for NotebookLM, and possibly other Google-accessible browser state in that profile.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly relies on a logged-in Google browser profile/session, but the artifacts do not clearly bound the exact profile, cookie scope, credential handling, or resulting account authority.

Skill content
A one-time manual login in Chromium to Google/NotebookLM is required. After that, this skill keeps refresh automated by reusing the same browser profile/session.
Recommendation

Use a dedicated Chromium profile or dedicated Google account, review the helper scripts first, and require explicit user approval before auth refresh actions.

What this means

Installing the skill would depend on local scripts whose behavior and provenance are not included in this review, even though they handle sensitive auth and browser automation.

Why it was flagged

The packaged ON script is a thin wrapper that executes an absolute-path helper outside the supplied manifest, so the main startup/auth-refresh behavior is not visible in the reviewed artifacts.

Skill content
/home/moltuser/clawd/scripts/notebooklm-on.sh
Recommendation

Do not use until the referenced helper scripts are included, pinned, or manually audited in the target environment.

What this means

If CDP or VNC are exposed beyond the intended local user, another process or user could potentially control the authenticated browser session.

Why it was flagged

The skill uses browser-debugging and remote-GUI control surfaces around an authenticated browser session, but the artifacts do not specify binding, authentication, or access-control limits.

Skill content
Linux host with Chromium and CDP (`--remote-debugging-port=9222`). Virtual display stack: **Xvfb + openbox + x11vnc**.
Recommendation

Bind CDP and VNC to localhost or otherwise secure them, avoid shared hosts, and shut the stack down when finished.

What this means

An authenticated browser and remote GUI stack may continue running after the initial command if not explicitly stopped.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally starts background GUI/browser services; this is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but users should understand that services may remain active until the OFF command runs.

Skill content
Start GUI/CDP stack (Xvfb + openbox + x11vnc + Chromium).
Recommendation

Run the OFF command after use and verify that Chromium, x11vnc, Xvfb, and openbox processes are stopped.
