Bailian Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward Alibaba Cloud DashScope web-search skill, with the main privacy consideration that searches and the API key are sent to Alibaba Cloud during use.

Install this only if you are comfortable using an Alibaba Cloud DashScope API key and sending search queries to Alibaba Cloud. Avoid searching for secrets, regulated personal data, or confidential business details unless that use is approved.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly requires environment access for `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` and network access to Alibaba Cloud, but the manifest does not declare explicit permissions. This creates a transparency and consent problem: hosts or users may not get a clear, standardized warning that the skill can exfiltrate prompts/queries to an external service and read sensitive environment data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill describes real-time search but does not prominently warn users that their search queries are sent to Alibaba Cloud's external service. Users may unknowingly submit sensitive prompts, internal data, or regulated information to a third party, creating privacy, confidentiality, and compliance risk.
