Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a small weather lookup skill that matches its stated purpose, with the main caveat that online searches send the city name to wttr.in over plain HTTP.

Safe for ordinary weather lookups. Be aware that online mode sends the city you type to wttr.in over an unencrypted HTTP request, so use --offline for demos or avoid sensitive/private locations unless the endpoint is changed to HTTPS.

Finding
The script sends the user-supplied city name to wttr.in over the network without clearly informing the user that their input will be disclosed to a third-party service. In addition, it uses plain HTTP rather than HTTPS, which allows intermediaries to observe or tamper with the request and response, increasing privacy and integrity risk.
