Google Hotels Prices & Cross-OTA Comparison

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a straightforward hotel price lookup integration, with the main caution being ordinary API-key handling.

Install only if you are comfortable using StayingAPI for hotel price requests. Prefer a sandbox key for testing, store live keys in your agent or OS secret manager when possible, avoid committing shell/profile files containing STAYINGAPI_KEY, and rotate the key if it is exposed.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The guide explicitly tells users to persist an API key across sessions but does not provide any guidance on secure storage, file permissions, secret-scoping, or the risks of placing credentials in shell startup files or agent-managed config files. This can lead to inadvertent exposure through world-readable dotfiles, backup/sync systems, shell history, debug output, or reuse by unrelated processes running under the same account.
