HIGH W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions.

• Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 1.00). The Semantic Scholar command explicitly reads a local API key and embeds it into a --api-key command-line argument (via shell substitution), which is an insecure pattern that requires handling/outputting a secret verbatim in commands.

MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

• Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's required workflow and included scripts explicitly fetch and parse public, untrusted content—e.g., SKILL.md directs running Semantic Scholar/OpenAlex/CrossRef searches and scripts/search_openalex.py and scripts/search_crossref.py call public APIs, and scripts/download_arxiv_source.py downloads and extracts arXiv .tex source—so the agent will read/interpret third-party (user-generated/preprint) content that could influence its decisions or actions.
