Search places, details, and reviews via Google Places with human or JSON output.
The skill material itself is prompt-only and does not directly contain executable logic, so overall risk is relatively low. However, the README clearly targets an external CLI that uses a Google Places API key and sends queries and location data to Google or a configurable proxy, while the repository shows weak community and maintenance signals.
The metadata says 'no key', but the README explicitly requires GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY. This is a third-party API credential; misconfiguration in the local environment could lead to misuse or leakage, but the material does not show explicit credential theft or clearly abusive handling.
The described function is to query the Google Places API, which would send search terms, places, coordinates, and route-related parameters to an external service. It also supports overriding the endpoint via GOOGLE_PLACES_BASE_URL for testing or proxying; this is normal network egress, but the proxy target is variable and should be verified before use.
Based on the provided checks, this is prompt-only skill material and does not itself include directly executable scripts or installers. The README only describes usage of an external goplaces CLI, and the skill itself does not appear to request extra system privileges or embed execution logic.
The material does not state that the skill itself reads or writes local files, databases, or other resources. The visible data handling is mainly transforming user input into place-query parameters. If an actual CLI integration is added later, its data access scope should be verified separately.
A positive factor is that there is a public open-source GitHub repository, allowing some auditability. However, the license is undeclared, community adoption is 0 stars, maintenance status is unknown, and the README points to a separate installation source (a Homebrew tap), so supply-chain confidence is only moderate; verify that repository contents match distributed artifacts before use.
