X Trends (using official API)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill transparently uses a user-provided X API token to fetch trending topics and does not show hidden or unrelated behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the skill access to an X API bearer token. Use a minimally scoped token where possible, keep it private, and revoke it from the X Developer Portal if you stop using the skill.

Finding
The skill clearly requires access to an environment variable containing an X API bearer token and makes outbound network requests to the X API, but it does not declare explicit permissions for those capabilities. That mismatch is a real security issue because users and policy engines may not get accurate visibility into secret access and network behavior, increasing the chance of unintended token exposure or unreviewed external communication.
