Full Analysis
  • [SAFE]: The skill provides documentation and programmatic access examples for the PubMed database through the official NCBI E-utilities REST API (eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). This is a legitimate and well-known service provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
  • [SAFE]: The skill recommends using standard and well-known Python libraries such as requests and biopython for API interaction.
  • [OBFUSCATION]: A technical support email address in SKILL.md is provided in reverse format (vog.hin.mln.ibcn@seitilitue for eutilities@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). This is interpreted as a benign anti-spam measure for a public contact address and does not hide malicious functionality.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill identifies a surface for indirect prompt injection by ingesting external data from the PubMed database.
  • Ingestion points: Literature metadata, abstracts, and full records are retrieved from the NCBI E-utilities API (esearch.fcgi, efetch.fcgi, esummary.fcgi).
  • Boundary markers: No explicit boundary markers or instructions to ignore embedded prompts are defined for the fetched content.
  • Capability inventory: Capabilities are restricted to network read operations and response parsing. The skill does not implement high-risk tools such as subprocess execution, dynamic code evaluation, or file system modifications.
  • Sanitization: The skill involves standard parsing of structured JSON, XML, or plain text responses from the official API.
