AnyCrawl-API

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward AnyCrawl API wrapper, with normal privacy and API-key handling cautions for a third-party scraping service.

Install this only if you intend to use AnyCrawl. Use a revocable API key, avoid submitting private/internal URLs or sensitive content unless approved, and set conservative crawl limits to control quota use and scope.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The README recommends persisting an API key in ~/.bashrc without any warning about credential exposure, shell history, shared-account risks, or safer secret-storage alternatives. While this is a common convenience pattern, it can lead to long-lived secrets being exposed to other local users, backups, dotfile sync, or accidental publication.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill exposes search, scrape, and crawl capabilities backed by a third-party AnyCrawl service but does not warn users that their queries, URLs, and retrieved page content will be transmitted off-platform. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk because users may unknowingly send sensitive targets, internal URLs, or confidential content to an external provider.
