curlto make POST requests to thehttps://api.exa.ai/searchendpoint. These commands are used to perform semantic searches and retrieve web data, which is the primary purpose of the skill. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill acts as a gateway for external web content to enter the agent's context, creating an inherent attack surface for indirect prompt injection.
- Ingestion points: The skill facilitates the retrieval of full page text, highlights, and summaries from arbitrary URLs through the Exa Search API, as detailed in the
Response Fieldssection ofSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: There are no instructions within the skill to wrap the retrieved data in protective delimiters or to explicitly warn the agent to ignore instructions embedded in the search results.
- Capability inventory: The skill performs network operations via
curlto fetch data from the internet. - Sanitization: The documentation does not specify any sanitization, filtering, or validation steps for the content returned by the search API before it is processed by the agent.
