serper-v

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

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

Installing the external CLI may change the local environment and depends on code that is not included in the skill artifacts.

Why it was flagged

The skill asks users to install a global, unpinned external npm package, with --force in the SKILL.md setup example. This is expected for a CLI-based Serper wrapper, but the package should be trusted before installation.

Skill content
npm install -g @vinitngr/serper-v --force
Recommendation

Verify the npm package publisher and contents, consider pinning a version, and avoid --force unless it is necessary.

What this means

The CLI will receive a Serper API key, which may allow API usage and quota consumption on the user's account.

Why it was flagged

The setup requires a Serper API key. This is purpose-aligned for using the Serper API, but the registry metadata declares no primary credential or required environment variables.

Skill content
serperV auth <api_key>
Recommendation

Use a scoped or revocable Serper key if available, understand how the CLI stores it, and rotate the key if it is exposed.
