Search the web using Baidu AI Search Engine (BDSE). Use for live information, documentation, or research topics.
Security Analysis
high confidenceThe skill's code and runtime instructions match its description: it posts queries to Baidu's AI search API using a single BAIDU_API_KEY environment variable and a Python script.
Name/description (Baidu web search) align with the code and declared requirements. The script calls a Baidu AI search endpoint and requires BAIDU_API_KEY and python3, which are appropriate for the stated purpose.
SKILL.md instructs running the included Python script with a JSON argument. The script only reads the provided JSON and the BAIDU_API_KEY env var, and sends the request to the Baidu endpoint. It does not access unrelated files or environment variables.
This is an instruction-only skill (no install spec), which is low risk. One practical omission: the script uses the Python 'requests' library but the skill only declares python3 as a required binary and does not declare the pip dependency. The runtime environment must have 'requests' installed for the script to work.
Only a single credential (BAIDU_API_KEY) is requested and that matches the API usage in the script. No unrelated secrets, config paths, or extra credentials are requested.
The skill does not request always:true or modify other skills or system configuration. It runs on invocation and requires the BAIDU_API_KEY at runtime only.
Guidance
This skill is coherent and transparent, but review these before installing: 1) It sends whatever you query to Baidu's API (qianfan.baidubce.com) — avoid sending sensitive secrets in queries. 2) Provide a BAIDU_API_KEY that has only the minimum needed permissions and monitor usage/rate limits. 3) The environment must have Python and the 'requests' package installed (the skill doesn't declare the pip dependency). 4) The skill origin is 'unknown' in the metadata — if you need stronger assurance, get this package from a trusted publisher or review the code locally before use.
