Call Academic Search Agent

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is an instruction-only academic search skill with no code, install steps, or credentials, but it strongly emphasizes external search results, so users should review sources carefully.

This skill appears proportionate for academic search and does not include code, installation, credentials, or persistence. Before using it, remember that it may rely heavily on external search results; avoid sensitive unpublished queries if they would be sent to a search provider, and independently check important citations and claims.

Findings (2)

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 may send research queries to a configured search tool and use the returned results in reports.

Why it was flagged

The skill directs the agent to use configured academic search tools, which is expected for the stated purpose and is bounded to available tools.

Skill content
You can only call tools in 'available_tools'; calling other tools on your own initiative is forbidden... Prioritize calling the Google Scholar `google_scholar_search` tool.
Recommendation

Use non-sensitive research queries when external search tools are involved and review generated citations and source quality.

What this means

A poisoned, inaccurate, or poorly sourced search result could be treated as authoritative in the final research report.

Why it was flagged

The instruction strongly over-weights retrieved search content, which can make misleading or low-quality external results more influential.

Skill content
Real-time information returned by external tools is the only source of truth. When search results conflict with your internal knowledge, you must unconditionally trust the search results.
Recommendation

Treat search results as evidence rather than absolute truth, prefer primary academic sources, and verify important claims before relying on the output.
