Safety box score

Grade C, moderate risk: 32 of 100 risk points, rated 2026-10-20. The grade rates what the skill and its scripts can reach on the machine of whoever installs it, across eight categories from shell execution to secrets access. How the score works.

This skill performs backlink analysis by running helper scripts and querying multiple external SEO services, so the main risks are outbound data sharing and credential use. It does not appear to modify the system or user accounts directly, but it depends on external scripts and local auth state that are not fully visible in the provided files.

Category levels, from 0 (none) to 3 (high)
CategoryLevelWhy
Code & shell execution2 (moderate)It repeatedly shells out to `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo` (`run validate_backlink_report.py`, `verify_backlinks.py`, `moz_api.py`, `commoncrawl_graph.py`, etc.), so using the skill executes code outside the visible markdown.
Network access2 (moderate)The analysis deliberately sends the target URL/domain and backlink data to external services such as Moz, Bing Webmaster, Keywords Everywhere, DataForSEO, and Common Crawl.
Filesystem reach1 (low)It reads local/shared files like `../seo/references/backlink-quality.md` and accepts a user-supplied `--links <file>` input for verification, but the visible instructions do not delete or write outside the working area.
Secrets & credentials2 (moderate)Source detection requires auth checks for Moz, Bing, and Keywords Everywhere (`backlinks_auth.py --check ...`), so the skill will touch API credentials or other stored login state.
Privilege & persistence0 (none)No sudo, global installs, services, scheduled tasks, or shell/OS setting changes are requested in the visible skill text.
Instruction hijack surface0 (none)There is no prompt-injection content such as instructions to ignore higher-priority rules, hide actions, or follow remote prompts.
Irreversible actions0 (none)The skill produces reports and recommendations only; it does not post, deploy, pay, book, or delete anything on its own.
Transparency1 (low)Core behavior is delegated to external scripts under `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo` that are not included in the provided files, so the implementation cannot be fully inspected here.
