Full Analysis
- [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill fetches titles and abstracts from the bioRxiv API, which serves as an indirect prompt injection surface. External paper content could potentially include instructions meant to influence the agent.\n
- Ingestion points: The
_requestandfind_by_termsmethods inscripts/biorxiv_client.pyfetch data fromapi.biorxiv.org.\n - Boundary markers: There are no specific delimiters or instructions to ignore potential commands within the retrieved data.\n
- Capability inventory: The skill allows writing files to the local system (PDFs and JSON results) via the
--fetch-pdfand--outcommand-line options.\n - Sanitization: The script does not perform sanitization on the text fields retrieved from the API before returning them to the agent context.\n- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill makes network requests to
api.biorxiv.organdwww.biorxiv.orgto retrieve preprint metadata and PDF files. These are well-known and reputable repositories for the life sciences, and the usage is consistent with the skill's intended purpose.
