Missing User Warnings

Medium

Confidence: 96% confidence
Finding: The skill invokes an external search service via the Tavily API, but the user-facing description and usage notes do not clearly warn that submitted queries are transmitted to a third party. This can lead users or downstream agents to unknowingly send sensitive prompts, internal terms, or proprietary data outside the local environment, creating a privacy and data-handling risk.
