Security Analysis
high confidenceThe skill's requirements (node, mcpc, APIFY_TOKEN), install step (npm @apify/mcpc), runtime instructions, and bundled script align with its stated purpose of running Apify Actors and exporting results.
Name/description (universal Apify scraper) match the declared requirements: APIFY_TOKEN (Apify API access), node and mcpc (Apify CLI) are expected and necessary to run Actors.
SKILL.md instructs selecting an Actor, fetching schemas via mcpc, validating inputs, starting runs through Apify API, polling status, and downloading datasets. The included script (run_actor.js) implements these actions and does not reference unrelated files, endpoints, or extra environment variables.
Install uses a single npm package (@apify/mcpc) to provide the mcpc CLI. This is a standard, traceable install method for a Node-based CLI; it will add the mcpc binary as declared.
Only APIFY_TOKEN is required and is appropriate for controlling and reading Apify Actor runs and datasets. Note: that token grants access to your Apify account (start runs, read datasets, etc.), so it is powerful — ensure you provide a token with appropriate scope and trust.
Skill is not always-enabled and does not request system-wide persistent privileges. It can be invoked autonomously (default), which is typical for skills; there is no indication it alters other skills or system settings.
Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it runs Apify Actors and saves the results. Before installing, consider: 1) APIFY_TOKEN is powerful—use a token scoped/minimized for this purpose or a dedicated Apify account to contain risk; 2) the skill will call api.apify.com and write files to the agent's working directory (it validates output paths); 3) it installs an npm CLI (@apify/mcpc) — review your npm policies; 4) the script sets a User-Agent that identifies usage to Apify (analytics). If you are comfortable granting an Apify token and installing the CLI, the skill is coherent and expected. If you cannot or will not provide a token, do not install.
Latest Release
v1.0.1
- Updated CLI dependency from `mcporter` to the new `mcpc` tool for all workflows. - Changed the required Node.js package from `mcporter` to `@apify/mcpc`. - All task and workflow commands now reference `mcpc` instead of `mcporter`. - No changes to scraping logic or available Actors; functionality remains the same.
