The Agent Skills Directory

[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill communicates with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) at https://www.ebi.ac.uk. This is a well-known and trusted scientific service used for protein sequence analysis. The network operations are limited to submitting jobs, polling status, and retrieving alignment results.
[CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill manages a USER_EMAIL variable via a .env file in the user's home directory. This follows standard security practices for keeping credentials out of version control and the agent's immediate conversation context. The instructions explicitly forbid the agent from printing or inspecting this file.
[DATA_EXFILTRATION]: While the skill sends sequence data to an external API, this is the primary and intended function of the tool. The destination (EBI) is a reputable public research institution. No unauthorized data exfiltration patterns were detected.
[INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests FASTA files provided by the user or external sources. While this represents a potential data ingestion surface, the processing is handled by a specialized Python script that treats the input as raw data for biological analysis rather than instructions. The interpretation phase is focused on biological metrics (conservation, identity), which mitigates the risk of the agent following instructions embedded in protein sequence headers.
