Full Analysis
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes a bundled Python script (scripts/query.py) to communicate with the Exa MCP server. This script is responsible for listing tools and executing search or retrieval requests.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: Network communication is established with mcp.exa.ai, a well-known service domain, to transmit search queries and retrieve page content. No unauthorized access to local sensitive files was detected.
  • [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill correctly manages sensitive information by using environment variables for the EXA_API_KEY and providing a secure configuration link for the user.
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill exposes an indirect prompt injection surface by design, as it fetches and processes markdown content from the public web. \n
  • Ingestion points: External websites accessed via the web_fetch_exa tool. \n
  • Boundary markers: None identified in the script's output handling. \n
  • Capability inventory: The skill facilitates web search and content retrieval. \n
  • Sanitization: No filtering is applied to the fetched markdown before it is passed to the agent.
