Review the Skillstore skill "web-research-assistant" from https://skillstore.io/skills/browser-act-web-research-assistant.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/browser-act-web-research-assistant/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Using "web-research-assistant". Research global battery recycling policies from the past year.
Expected outcome:
Using "web-research-assistant". Find recent news about commercial fusion funding.
Expected outcome:
Most high and medium static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, documented installation paths, a constant datetime import, and string slicing. Confirmed risks include external API transmission, unrestricted output overwrite, chat-based credential solicitation, and access-control bypass intent. Returned web content is copied into reports without sanitization, which can expose downstream agents to prompt injection.
These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.
