Security audit

Query local public IP address

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This small skill does what it says: it checks the machine's public IP address using public lookup websites.

Install only if you are comfortable with third-party IP lookup services receiving your IP lookup request. The code is short and readable, but users with strict network policies may want to replace the endpoints with an approved internal service.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
This script makes outbound requests to third-party IP-lookup services and transmits the user's IP-related metadata to external domains without any notice, consent flow, or indication that network access will occur. While the functionality appears legitimate, undisclosed external communication can leak environment information, create privacy concerns, and violate user expectations or enterprise network policies.
