Full Analysis
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests untrusted data from external websites through tools such as scrape, google_search, and various e-commerce SDE tools. This content is processed by the agent, creating a surface for indirect prompt injection attacks.
  • Ingestion points: Tools that fetch external web content (e.g., scrape, google_search, amazon_product, walmart_search).
  • Boundary markers: The instructions recommend structured outputs (JSON, Markdown) and synthesis, which provides some implicit structure, though it does not provide explicit sanitization for malicious instructions embedded in the target pages.
  • Capability inventory: The skill allows network requests to fetch data and performs shell-based server execution during setup.
  • Sanitization: The skill lacks explicit instructions for filtering or escaping malicious content within the scraped results.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The documentation provides standard setup instructions that involve downloading the MCP server implementation from vendor-controlled or well-known registries.
  • Evidence: Instructions to run npx mcp-remote https://mcp.scraperapi.com/mcp and pip install scraperapi-mcp-server in references/setup.md.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill requires starting an MCP server via shell commands during the installation phase.
  • Evidence: Command-line instructions for starting the remote server via npx and the local server via python -m scraperapi_mcp_server.
  • [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill documentation describes a feature (callbackUrl in crawler_job_start) that allows scraped data to be sent to a user-defined external endpoint.
  • Evidence: references/crawler.md explicitly warns the user that this feature transmits page results (including potential PII or sensitive data) over the network and requires user approval.
