Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

EmotionWise is a narrow API skill that sends user-provided text to the documented EmotionWise service for emotion and sarcasm analysis.

Install only if you trust EmotionWise and the publisher. Keep the API key private, and avoid submitting confidential, regulated, personal, or internal business text unless you intend for that text to be processed by EmotionWise.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The README explicitly encourages sending arbitrary user text, including batches of support comments, to a third-party API but does not provide a clear user-facing privacy or data-sharing warning. In a text-analysis skill, this matters because users may submit sensitive personal, customer, or internal business content without realizing it leaves the local environment and is processed by an external service.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly sends arbitrary user-provided text to a third-party API, but the skill description and usage guidance do not warn users that their content leaves the local system. This creates a real privacy and data-handling risk because users may submit sensitive messages, conversations, or personal data without informed consent.
