Security Audit

Medium Risk

v12 • 7/9/2026 Open versioned report

Most static findings are false positives from citation examples, Markdown code fences, documented API usage, and expected output file writes. The main confirmed concern is an optional Google Scholar proxy mode described as avoiding rate limits, which can enable abusive scraping or service-control bypass.

use_proxy: Use free proxy (helps avoid rate limiting)

This finding points to a proxy option described as avoiding rate limits. That is a real marketplace concern because it can enable abusive scraping or terms-of-service evasion.

help='Use free proxy to avoid rate limiting'

Rate Limit Evasion Proxy Option

The Google Scholar helper offers a free proxy option described as helping avoid rate limits. This can support scraping behavior that bypasses service controls, even if the rest of the skill is citation-focused.

The cited lines explicitly mention using free proxies to avoid rate limiting. This is a clear abuse-enablement concern, though it is limited to an optional Google Scholar search mode.

What You Can Build

Build a thesis bibliography

Collect references from DOI, PubMed, arXiv, and manual sources, then normalize them into consistent BibTeX.

Validate manuscript references

Check a BibTeX file for missing fields, duplicate keys, malformed DOIs, and inconsistent formatting before submission.

Prepare a literature review dataset

Search scholarly databases, export candidate papers, and convert selected records into reusable citation entries.

Try These Prompts

Convert one DOI

Use this skill to convert this DOI into a clean BibTeX entry: 10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2

Validate my bibliography

Use this skill to validate references.bib. Report missing fields, duplicate keys, DOI issues, and formatting problems.

Find PubMed papers

Use this skill to search PubMed for recent review papers about CRISPR off-target effects from 2021 to 2026. Return citation candidates with PMIDs and BibTeX-ready metadata.

Clean a manuscript bibliography

Use this skill to deduplicate my BibTeX file, normalize field order, verify DOI metadata where possible, and produce a submission-ready bibliography with a validation summary.

Best Practices

Provide DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, or source URL when you have a known reference.
Review generated citations against the publisher page before final submission.
Keep a backup of bibliography files before formatting or deduplicating them.

Avoid

Do not assume metadata from one source is always complete or current.
Do not use proxy or scraping options to bypass service rate limits or terms.
Do not overwrite a production bibliography without reviewing the validation report.
