Security Audit
SafeAll 121 static analysis findings were evaluated and dismissed as false positives. The skill contains no executable code - all files are markdown documentation and JSON metadata. The 53 external_commands findings are curl command examples inside markdown code blocks, not executable code. The 14 weak cryptographic algorithm findings are API response format strings (e.g., {code, message, data}) and example tokens in documentation. The 9 system reconnaissance findings are parameter description tables. The high entropy finding is a false positive from Chinese text. The critical dangerous combination finding is an aggregation of the above false positives. The skill is a legitimate read-only API documentation reference that requires a MAXHUB_API_KEY environment variable to query Toutiao data endpoints.

Best Practices
- Verify the MAXHUB_API_KEY environment variable is configured before making queries to avoid authentication errors.
- Chain related queries together in a single conversation for deeper analysis, such as fetching article details and comments in sequence.
- Use specific group_id or user_id values from Toutiao URLs for accurate results instead of guessing identifiers.
Avoid
- Do not expose the API key value in prompts, output, or share it with others - always reference it via the configured environment variable.
- Do not assume data is real-time without checking the cache_url field, as some API responses may contain cached results.
- Avoid making queries without a clear group_id or user_id, as the API does not support keyword search and will return errors.
