youtube-comment-miner

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill does what it says: it fetches and locally analyzes YouTube comments, with privacy and dependency hygiene risks users should manage.

Install in a virtual environment, pin reviewed dependency versions, and collect only comments you have a legitimate reason to analyze. The tool saves public comment text plus author metadata locally, so delete outputs when no longer needed and avoid using scraped comments as instructions for your agent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly collects and stores YouTube comments with author identifiers and timestamps, but provides no privacy, retention, consent, or data-handling guidance. Even if the data is publicly visible, aggregating and saving it locally increases privacy risk, enables profiling, and may create compliance issues depending on jurisdiction and use.
