Risk Level: SAFE
Full Analysis
- [SAFE]: The skill performs legitimate verification of citations in .bib files by querying established academic services. The core logic is transparent and focused on the stated academic purpose.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: It uses the standard 'requests' library to communicate with official APIs for CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex. These are well-known, trusted services in the research community.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes a local Python script for data processing. This script uses safe parsing methods (regex) and does not involve subprocess spawning or arbitrary shell command execution.
- [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: While citation metadata is sent to external APIs, this is necessary for the verification process. The data sent is limited to titles, DOIs, and author names from the bibliography files provided by the user.
