No security findings. Scanned 1 time, most recently 2026-02-07.
Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
The two scanners disagree: Cisco found nothing and SkillSpector says do not install. One of them has a blind spot here; read the skill before trusting either. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Manage Zotero reference libraries via the Web API. Search, list, add items by DOI/ISBN/PMID (with duplicate detection), delete/trash items, update metadata and tags, export in BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON, batch-add from files, check PDF attachments, cross-reference citations, find missing DOIs via CrossRef, and fetch open-access PDFs. Supports --json output for scripting. Use when the user asks about academic references, citation management, literature libraries, PDFs for papers, bibliography export, or Zotero specifically.

Package contents recorded 2026-10-22. The scan above ran against the version current at scan time; the two can differ if the skill has since been updated.
What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Llm analyzer. A language model reads the skill and reports intent-level issues the rules cannot express.
- Meta analyzer. A second model pass that validates, deduplicates and re-scores the other analyzers' findings.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
